Hello
i have a strange problem and i can’t find a solution. I’m running a proftpd server with a public key, server is running fine except sometimes when the connection is lost i receive a message:
Authentication log (see session log for details): Using username “audiplo”. Authenticating with public key “rsa-key-20141231” from agent.
Authentication failed.
tail -f /var/log/proftpd/sftp.log
