Hello,

Username: $solfrini
Cluster: $Yggdrasil

I’m trying to connect to login1.yggdrasil.hpc.unige.ch with FileZilla, but I see the following error: Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP on server: could not connect.
Looks like SFTP is not working on the server?

Here you can find a screenshot to better understand the situation.

Can you help me, please?
Thank you in advance.

Have a nice day,
Sonia

Dear @Sonia.Solfrini

I tested with my account and it is working fine.

You should remove from your .bashrc the following lines you added:

eval $(ssh-agent -s)
ssh-add ~/.ssh/yggdrasil_github

Instead I suggest that you launch the ssh agent in your PC and enable ssh Agent Forwarding
