[sftp] All configured authentication methods failed

Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

Getting error saying all configured authentication methods failed

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

This is my sftp.json file:

{
    "host": "[e-mail]",
    "port": 22,
    "username": "example_username",
    "password": "example_password",
    "protocol": "sftp",
    "agent": null,
    "privateKeyPath": null,
    "passphrase": null,
    "passive": false,
    "interactiveAuth": true,
    "remotePath": "/example",
    "uploadOnSave": false,
    "syncMode": "update",
    "watcher": {
        "files": false,
        "autoUpload": false,
        "autoDelete": false
    },
    "ignore": [
        "**/.vscode/**",
        "**/.git/**",
        "**/.DS_Store"
    ]
}

In my case, server’s /var/log/auth.log said,

key type ssh-rsa not in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms

which lead to a solution by adding,

PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa

in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart sshd.

Seems newer Ubuntu 22.04 has changed default accepted key types and this plugin no longer worked despite ssh command working fine.

I think the error messages it’s clear.
