SFTP with Brother Scanners

[foto-andreas]

A quick note on Using Brother Scanners (e.g. ADS-1700W) with SFTP connection to Ubuntu server. To get the SFTP connection working you habe to add the following lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_conf

#Legacy changes for Brother ADS-1700W
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
Ciphers +aes128-cbc

You find infos regarding this in /var/log/auth.log

Cheers Andreas

This might be specific to the 1700. I didn't have to do this for my 2800.

My 2400N works fine without this line

If using shared keys the "server key" should be the actual server key, not the user on the server. This is NOT from ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, it is located in /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub (on Ubuntu). Download that, upload it to the Brother scanner and it will work with the sshd_config changes mentioned above.
