bump, same

[daverickdunn]

Please post your .remote-sync.json. Cheers. Edit: and what changes you're trying to save... Thanks.

[tofsjonas]

I wanted to disable the upload on save-thingy.

It did not matter if I changed anything or not.

I edited .remote-sync.json manually instead and problem went away. If it reappears I will let you know.

Same here (Win7 64x, latest Atom 64x and Remote Sync). Host is an IP, connecting through SFTP, data is all correct. If I try and edit .remote-sync.json manually, then save a file, it says "All configured authentication methods failed".

I had a project well configurated with remote-sync. I made a git clone and opened the new project in atom. I tried to configure it with remote-sync. Then I had the same issue:Atom: 1.21.1 x64 Electron: 1.6.15 OS: Ubuntu 17.10 Thrown From: remote-sync package 4.1.8

Then I just closed atom and opened it again to make it work. Maybe the problem is that atom was opened after I used several times the function "Put on stand by" my "ubuntu mate".

@yongkangchen any update on this?

Sample remote-sync.json

 {
  "uploadOnSave": true,
  "useAtomicWrites": true,
  "deleteLocal": true,
  "hostname": "alpha.zmailwerk.net",
  "target": "/var/www/cms/typo3conf/ext/zm_dropdown",
  "ignore": [
    ".remote-sync.json",
    ".svn/**"
  ],
  "username": "mwent",
  "watch": [],
  "useAgent": true,
  "transport": "scp"
}

It happens as well, when I try to create from scratch. Atom V 1.27.2 on Win 10 remote-sync: 4.1.8

[jamaluddinrumi]

try disable the plugin copy .remote-sync.json that already works and then enable the plugin again
