I’m trying to login and upload a file as another user of a domain created in VestaCP where I have SSH key in placed.
Error: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)
Error: Could not connect to server
I got that error from Cyberduck whenever I try to login with a password. I can only login via SSH and SFTP if I use the private key, any other users and password doesn’t work. Almost the same if I use Filezilla. This is a custom install from VestaCP.com without Mail and Firewall support. I’m using DOs Cloud Firewall service and allowed all incoming that VestaCP requires.
Is there a configuration with SSH config file that I should change to allow login from other users aside from admin and accept passwords as well?
Update: The account package in VestaCP have SSH Access set to bash. Hope this helps.

Hello,
You can double-check the configured settings in FileZilla and make sure that the
ssh-key
is added/present.Configure FileZilla After you install FileZilla, you need to configure it to connect to the Droplet.
Open FileZilla and then click Settings in the Edit drop-down menu.
In the Connection section, click SFTP. This is where you add your Droplet’s private SSH key. Click Add key file…, then locate your Droplet’s private SSH key on your local machine. If FileZilla prompts you to convert the file into a supported format, click Yes.
After you add the SSH key, open the File drop-down menu and click Site Manager. The site manager lets you add, remove, and manage servers and devices that you want to connect to using FileZilla.
Click New Site and enter the name of the Droplet. In the protocol field, select SFTP from the drop-down menu. Enter information for the following fields:
Once you have entered your settings, click Connect. The status field in the top window displays the status of the connection.

Hello, @mickelodian
The ‘PasswordAuthentication’ can be enabled temporarily in order to add new key when the old one is lost or just when the ssh connection can not be established for some reason with the current key (although you should always first check the key’s file ownership/permissions)
You can enable PasswordAuthentication for your Droplet by modifying your
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
file. Once set to Yes restart the SSH service and connect via an SSH client for a more stable connection. You can then modify your~/.ssh/authorized_keys
file to add the appropriate public key.This change can be made from DigitalOcean’s console. If you’re having issues accessing the console you can then reach to our amazing support team that can help you further with this.
To enable the
PasswordAuthentication
follow these steps:sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication
from “no” to “yes” and save the filesudo nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication
from “yes” to “no” and save the fileYou can then upload the key using this command:
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
