SFTP error using Cyberduck: EOF while reading packet
- Posted October 18, 2014
I am trying to host my website using a droplet and I am using Cyberduck on MacOSX. While setting up the SFTP I get receive a “connection failed” alert and it reads, “EOF while reading packet”.
When I tried on FileZilla it responds with: Error: Connection closed by server with exitcode 1 Error: Could not connect to server
I searched around for help and I could not find anything helpful (I’m a novice).

figured it out. after i ssh’d to the account it prompted me to change the password which later worked in FTP.
For me the problem was an incorrect path in my /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
I had:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
which didn’t exist. I needed:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
same here. tried resetting my password
Same problem here too… any advise?
I have the same error :(

I have the same problem. Create a new doplet, even add a ssh key. I can not also access on my doplet via IP adress, also wordpress dont setup auto on creating. Something is wrong. First time i see this problem.
