Dreamweaver can no longer access my server via SFTP

My site's server just changed its sshd configuration to remove insecure algorithms and Dreamweaver (v18.0 on a Mac with High Sierra 10.13) can no longer access it via SFTP. It does not support FTP. I have the list of my server's supported SSH Ciphers, Kex Algorithms and MACs.

How can I find out what ssh standards Dreamweaver supports? Is there a way (e.g., a config file) that I can update Dreamweaver to ensure it uses one of our supported crypto standards for SFTP?

Hi kevinb96402020,

Can you please tell us the hosting server provider that you are trying to connect to?

Also, if you could mention the list of ciphers, MACs and KexAlgorithms that the server supports- this will help us in debug the issue better?

From my host, although I have already reported this info previously.

It's a standard linux server. OpenSSH.

Here is the connection from your side:

Feb 2 09:30:41 100023bf0000 sshd[6426]: Unable to negotiate with xxx.xx.xx.xxx port 54843: no matching MAC found. Their offer: hmac-md5,hmac-sha1,hmac-ripemd160,hmac-ripemd160@openssh.com,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5-96 [preauth]

Here is what the server supports currently:

KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
Ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr
MACs hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com,umac-128-etm@openssh.com,hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,umac-128@openssh.com

Basically, dreamweaver is trying to connect to the server using very old ciphers that are basically no longer secure (and haven't been for some time).

Hi,

Can you tell us to which hosting server are you trying to connect?

Also, if you could list down the whole list of ciphers, MACs and KexAlgorithms supported by your server- we could debug this issue better.

Thanks. I had reviewed that and checked everything I could think of before finding out that out sysadmin had removed some less secure standards from our sshd configuration. So my working theory is that the problem is that Dreamweaver is using one that our server no longer supports. Hence my desire to find out what ciphers etc. Dreamweaver uses and if there there is a way to reconfigure it.
