Inedo.Agents.Ssh.SftpException: SFTP Protocol Error (permission denied) using SSH To Linux (otter)

Hi,
I have setup Otter on a Windows Server.

I want to connect to a Linux agent and set a username/password but get the following error:

Inedo.Agents.Ssh.SftpException: SFTP Protocol Error (permission denied)

Do I need to do anything on the Linux server side?

Hi @gurdip-sira_1271 ,

Based on the error message, it looks like the use doesn't have appropriate permissions; did you set a temp directory on the SSH agent ? That directory may not exist , and user may not have permission to create it.

Thanks,
Alana

Had to set ownership on the folder on the Linux server, all green now thanks!
