Question

SSH Operation not permitted

SSH was working perfectly to my server but suddenly I started getting this error “Operation not permitted”. Console access, which was also working, now requires a login/password. I haven’t made any changes - this suddenly stopped working. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Interesting - rebooting my Mac resolved the issue. Thanks.

The console should always require a password, use your SSH details.
