Channel request subsystem failed
Many apologies if this is a dumb question, but I just began to get the "[SFTP] Error initialising channel: Channel request subsystem failed " notification.
Is this related the libssh support and, if so, what does my server admin need to do to fix it? Sorry again about the vague question here.
See https://github.com/ashkulz/NppFTP/blob/master/src/FTPClientWrapperSSH.cpp#L457

@B-Dionysus
- Is this just happening with a specific server or with multiple ones? Could you test against server: test.rebex.net
, see https://test.rebex.net/ for further config params.
- With which version of NppFTP?
Ah, looks like it's just the one server. Or, at least, rebex worked fine.
I asked the sysadmin of the server in question, who said that "it's been upgraded to not support deprecated protocols" as part of the move from Debian 7 to 9. So I'm assuming that libssh (and therefore NppFTP) uses an out of date protocol?
Thanks!
@B-Dionysus libssh features, see https://www.libssh.org/features/ with support for Subsystems: sftp(version 3), and latest version is 6 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol#Version_6)
Could you connect with winscp or filezilla?
@B-Dionysus You may want to test current release https://github.com/ashkulz/NppFTP/releases/tag/v0.28.0 which contains updated libssh version 0.8.6 with support for additional algorithms.

Facing the same issue in 0.28.3 as well.
Same issue observed in 0.28.4 Edit: Turned out to be server configuration not allowing sftp
