Hi people, I´m having problems connecting to SFTP on kodi 16.1 running on a raspberry pi 2.
First off all, I want to be clear that i can connect outside my lan via ssh (putty) and SFTP (cyberduck), without problem.

So I install kodi on a macbook air, and when I tried to add the source I have this problem "SFTPSession: Password present, but server does not support password authentication",

This is the kodi.log (I replace my web address with xxxx)

Somebody can help me? I have search all over internet, but no clue. I have to change some settings on openssh on the raspberry??

Thanks for your help!

I am having the exact same problem...!

Also from Kodi.log (replaced IP address with server IP)

The crazy thing is, I was SSH'ed into the Kodi box from my laptop, then SSHing to the server IP, all over SSH (22) at the exact same time.
Meaning there is no connectivity problems (btw its all 1000baseT networking between everything)
And only 2mins earlier I finished watching a show from the exact same server IP over SSH.

Its really infrequent too and it started happening when I reinstalled Kodi 16.1 (via Kodiubuntu) to a SSD drive.
I installed Kodi 14.0 (complied Dec 23 2014) on Thursday 16th Aug 2016 to my SSD.

I tried the request again a while later and got in and this is the log.

Its certainly not,
the physical network (everything is 1000baseT and nothing has changed (even setup the server to ping the Kodi box with no drops).
the server (nothing has changed in forever, and it worked everytime when I use to run Kodi on the HDD )
permissions as nothing has changed since forever
user accounts for the same reason and I just SSH'ed into the ServerIP using the exact same account Kodi is using

I'm lost but wondering about the Wake on Lan thing (which isn't turning on or off my server IP) wondering if its messing with the request?
