[Redirected] Can login to GUI, cannot connect via SSH

[FreeMan]

NOTE: This post has been moved to the SSH plugin support thread. All support suggestions/questions/comments/etc are more than welcome over there.

 

I've been having lots of issues with my Backup server of late. I ended up rebuilding the USB key from scratch, reinstalling all plugins and dockers individually.

 

Now, I can log into the WebGUI, but I cannot get logged into an SSH session. I do have SSH root login enabled:

I know I've got the correct password, I used it to log into the WebGUI, and I reset it in the user settings for root, however, I'm denied access at a terminal in PuTTY.

Suggestions are welcome!

You would be best of reading the support thread for that plugin and posting in there

Thanks for that. SSH just seems so natural in the system that I forget that it's enabled/configured through a plugin.

What happens if you try to SSH in without the plugin installed?   That works fine for me using PuTTY as SSH is enabled by default.   In is always possible that the plugin is having some issue with the 6.8 release?

@itimpi thanks for the thought, I'll respond in the SSH plugin thread to keep all the conversation in one place.
