What is the problem you are having with rclone?
rclone can't connect to my Debian 12 server over ssh/sftp because it's version string is too long (?) : SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u2
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.67.0
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 11 Home 24H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.26120.961 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.22.4
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
sftp over LAN running on Debian 12 (SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u2
)
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp
)
& (gcm rclone).source -vv mount sftp-helpi@URUHA:/mnt/V V:
, expands to:
& C:\Users\helpi\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Links\rclone.exe -vv mount sftp-helpi@URUHA:/mnt/V V:

welcome to the forum,
helpimnotdrowning:
shell_type = powershell
so the sftp server is running on a windows machine?
what other sftp client tools have you tested?
better to test using a simple command, rclone lsd
to keep the log small, use --retries=1
The server runs Debian and I have Powershell 7 set as the default shell.
I also use WinSCP to connect to the server. I had a similar error earlier today with it, but that was because I had some text printing out on the non-interactive session. I removed the echo from my profile and was able to connect.
--retries=1
had no effect, but here's the log (retries were snipped):

at a test, try shell_type = unix
I should also note that this was working perfectly fine yesterday/two days ago: no updates on the server side (packages updated today after bug encounter, did not help), but there was an overnight (yesterday I think? poor memory lol) update on my machine to Windows 11's Insider Dev build 10.0.26120.961 . The release notes don't hint at anything in particular ("a small set of general improvements and fixes that improve the overall experience").
Log with updated command and shell_type = unix

I'm not sure what is causing this problem but I discovered the error is an SFTP error rather than an SSH error
}
}
if err := sftp.sendInit(); err != nil {
wr.Close()
return nil, fmt.Errorf("error sending init packet to server: %w", err)
}
if err := sftp.recvVersion(); err != nil {
wr.Close()
return nil, fmt.Errorf("error receiving version packet from server: %w", err)
}
sftp.clientConn.wg.Add(1)
go func() {
defer sftp.clientConn.wg.Done()
if err := sftp.clientConn.recv(); err != nil {
sftp.clientConn.broadcastErr(err)
}
}()
So it might be worth investigating whether the SFTP server changed somehow.
