It's failing during key exchange (KEX). You could try explicitly selecting a different key exchange method e.g. sftp -oKEXAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 ... If that works then it's highly likely that the IBM server has implemented the ecdh-sha2-nistp256 method incorrectly. -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
