Hello i have a little problem, i developped a script sftp client with node js that connect to an sftp server and grab some files, i tested it with my local server its working, but when i tried to use it with production server i received this error :
Error: Handshake failed: no matching key exchange algorithm
i already generated the rsa key using ssh-keygen
here is the relevant part of the script :
var Client = require('ssh2').Client;
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
var args = process.argv.slice(2);
var connSettings = {
host: args[0] || '127.0.0.1',
port: args[1] || 22,
username: args[2] || 'karim',
password: args[3] || 'karimos',
algorithms: {
hmac: ['hmac-sha2-256', 'hmac-sha2-512', 'hmac-sha1', 'hmac-sha1-96']
}
};
I also had the same problem and solved it by adding the following:
algorithms: {
kex: [
"diffie-hellman-group1-sha1",
"ecdh-sha2-nistp256",
"ecdh-sha2-nistp384",
"ecdh-sha2-nistp521",
"diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256",
"diffie-hellman-group14-sha1"
],
cipher: [
"3des-cbc",
"aes128-ctr",
"aes192-ctr",
"aes256-ctr",
"aes128-gcm",
"aes128-gcm@openssh.com",
"aes256-gcm",
"aes256-gcm@openssh.com"
],
serverHostKey: [
"ssh-rsa",
"ecdsa-sha2-nistp256",
"ecdsa-sha2-nistp384",
"ecdsa-sha2-nistp521"
],
hmac: [
"hmac-sha2-256",
"hmac-sha2-512",
"hmac-sha1"
]
}
