[quote="lrks"]Hi,

So I am using Fedora Server 35. On my Windows 10 PC, I am trying to use WinSCP to connect to my server via SFTP. However, I cannot seem to get it connected; I always get this message:
[quote]No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)[/quote]
[b]NOTE:[/b] Previously, my server was set up as Ubuntu Server but then I made the switch to Fedora Server, however, it has the same private IP. Maybe that is causing or it is related to this issue? I had no issues using WinSCP to SFTP to my Ubuntu Server.

[*] I have configured the [m]sshd_config[/m] file to enable all the GSSAPI options to no prevail.
[*] I generated a new PuTTY key via WinSCP and uploaded the public key to my server and that did not work.
[*] I enabled [m]PasswordAuthentication[/m] and that worked fine.
[*] I have deleted the existing PPK key and created a new one.
[*] I have cleared the cache.
[*] I uninstalled and reinstalled WinSCP.
[/list]
So I tried to SFTP to my server via PowerShell and it worked. I can also use FileZilla with no issues, but I would much rather use WinSCP; it's cleaner and easier to use.

WinSCP does not authenticate for some reason that is unknown to me. I tried out CyberDuck and that did not work either.

Do I need to have a certain [m]sshd_config[/m] configuration on my server or a package installed on my server to accept WinSCP?[/quote]

Same issue, WinSCP upgrade solved it

I had the same issue after upgrading my server to Ubuntu 22.04. Upgrading WinSCP to the latest version (5.21.7) resolved it.

You might need WinSCP 5.20 beta:
Issue 1952 – Support rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 SSH public key algorithms

After sifting through about one hundred articles, I found the answer for Fedora, my particular OS. Someone had the same issue I was having with the same OS.

Turns out that:

Fedora 33 and above no longer allow ssh-rsa authentication using a SHA1 message digest, due to security concerns. ssh-rsa keys are fine and can still be used, but the SSH client needs to use them with a newer SHA2-based authentication handshake.

The person's suggestion was to use either EdDSA or ECDSA.

It works now!
