Been struggling with this all day.
Trying to set up SFTP to a new VM on googles compute engine following this walkthrough.
Step 1 is fine.
Step 2 seems to generate the keys OK but i dont get asked for a pass phrase & then i get the following:
If i then re-run the command after the keys are generated i get the following:
I've found a few questions with the same error but not anything thats fixed the issue.
I've tried logging into GCE console and adding the ssh keys manually but the error remains.
I've tried removing the whole project and starting again with the same result.
I've tried continuing & connecting with Filezilla - obviously doesn't work.
Output from Serial Console:
Feb 23 19:15:21 magento-test sshd[8643]: error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
Feb 23 19:15:22 magento-test sshd[8643]: error: buffer_get_bignum2_ret: negative numbers not supported [preauth]

Feb 23 19:15:22 magento-test sshd[8643]: error: Received disconnect from 151.227.74.143: 14: No supported authentication methods available [preauth]
UPDATE ****
I've made some progress thanks to this question, this has given a work around for a known bug, which has allowed me to create an ssh key & get an active connection in putty.
However i'm still stuck with getting SFTP access, using the same key (that connects through putty) I just get a timeout
Status: Connecting to 104.155.66.130...
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=4
Command: keyfile "C:\Users\Ben\.ssh\google_compute_engine.ppk"
Command: open "[email protected]" 22
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Could not connect to server
Any help at all appreciated
