Couldn't start a terminal for dianli: All configured authentication methods failed

[sakurarain99]

After installing the SSH FS plug-in, an error occurred. The following is my connection configuration: "sshfs.configs": [ { "name": "power", // "group": "create.power", "host": "xxx.xx.xxx.130", "port": 22, "root": "/", "username": "root", "password": "root123", "agent": "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" } ],

What causes this? Is there any solution?

[SchoofsKelvin]

This issue would be easier to solve with debug logs, so please follow these steps:

• Add DEBUG_SSH2 to the sshfs.flags array in VS Code's User Settings (settings.json) e.g. "sshfs.flags": ["DEBUG_SSH2"]
• If you already have a connection open, close it completely (or even reload the window)
• Go to Output > SSH FS and copy the log from there after replicating your bug
• While it should censor passwords/passphrases, I recommend checking it for (other) sensitive data first. _(especially since DEBUG_SSH2 activates some internal logging, which is less likely to be censored)_

At first glance, it looks like you're trying to use a password, but also specified agent. When an agent is specified and available, the extension will try to (only) use that agent, even if it fails. That's currently a limitation of the underlying ssh2 library, but might get resolved in the future.

Where is output > SSH FS?

[SchoofsKelvin]

VS Code has an Output view/pane, by default accessible with Ctrl + Shift + U: After you opened that view, use the dropdown to select SSH FS. extension needs to be already activated, but just viewing the SSH FS sidebar pane will already activate it

The password can be confirmed

[SchoofsKelvin]

According to those logs, it does try to log in with the password, but the server replies with a failure. If you're sure the password is correct, I can only think of a few causes:

• You're using a password for the wrong user
• Your server is configured to disallow password authentication (for that user, at least)

You could perhaps take a look at your server's sshd logs (depending on your OS, these might be in some "security logs" or a journal) while potentially even running sshd with LogLevel set to DEBUG3 or similar. Should you share these logs, be sure to thoroughly go through them, as the debug log levels can start logging some very sensitive information.

Well, thank you

[SchoofsKelvin]

Since you closed the issue, I assume you found the cause and how to fix it?
