[erlang-questions] ssh:connect "Key exchange failed"

[József Bérces]

Hi,

I need to connect to an ssh server but ssh:connect always returns "Key exchange failed". I can connect with KiTTY, and checking the KiTTY logs I suspect that the problem is the 1024-bit RSA key.

Could you please check the KiTTY log below what is not supported by the Erlang SSH client?

Is there any way to add the missing support to the Erlang SSH client so that I could connect to this server?

Thanks,
Jozsef
