configuring filezilla fails :: establishing a connection with SFTP fails all the time

hello and good evening dear Ubuntu-experts and fans,

well i am struggling with the set up of FileZilla. Though it runs well on two other notebooks i stuggle to configure it on the third notebook.

what happens: now i did a fresh installation on a third notebook - i installed opensuse 13.2 and then filezilla: all was totally fresh installed

I added a key - and subsequently i wanted to try the whole thing:

i want to do a connectino via a sftp-way. therefore i added the pub-key. - the one that is used on the other notebooks also

but i cannot establish a connection to the server.

afterwards i tried to run a configuration-test. the test that finally estabishes a connection to the filezilla-server. this faield

why - what can i do now!? I need your help right now

love to hear from you:mad:

Yet again - tech support request, not a Cafe thread.

Do you have root access to the target host?

If so, ssh to the target host in the usual manner and get root, then issue this command from c-line. echo "MaxAuthTries 10" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config; service ssh restart.

If no root access contact the sysadmin and ask them to do it.

"Configuration Test" What's that and how does that work?
