I was happily using sftp to connect to my fedora droplet until yesterday. This morning I am suddenly unable to connect both via terminal and GUI.
I am getting this error.
[Abhinav@abhinav-fed22 ~] $ sftp rot@xxxxxxxxxx
root@xxxxxxxx's password:
Received message too long 543121247
I have reset the ssh keys, and tried a lot of suggestions here and on google. What is suddenly wrong.

This is issue is caused when you shell initialization (.profile, .bashrc, .cshrc, etc) which produces output for non-interactive sessions such as sftp.
You have to modify .profile, .bashrc, .cshrc files and make sure it doesn’t output any messages.
