Error skipping startup message.

I get this error:
Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (Bash is recommended).

Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status 0.
I then noticed my user was an FTP user and did not have shell access. This took me a while to figure out and I am reporting this here for users in the future. I may still have issues because I have to wait until shell access is granted before I can test this again.

Re: Error skipping startup message.

My problem was that the user password on Linux machine expired (I have it set up to expire on 90 days) and the shell didn't start.

I found that our problem was the user was using SCP and sudo, and that sshd required a TTY in order to perform this action.

I received this error when I used:
open scp://user@server -privatekey=C:\myprivatekey.pkk
I resolved in this way
open sftp://user@server -privatekey=C:\myprivatekey.pkk

checkpoint winSCP

You probably in the clish mode that's why its not letting you download in the bash.
Login in to the GW under user management > users > unlock the screen from above
For example if you use admin account double click the admin there you can change the shell to /bin/bash

Now go to your WinSCP and download...!!

There we go..!!

My problem was that SSH was selected

I got this error after importing sites into a new machine, and after failing to log in several times, I checked the settings. I saw it was set to SSH, rather than SFTP, as intended.

I switched that and it's working as expected now.

Or you can simply login to Checkpoint GW via SSH and put this command in (in expert mode):
chsh -s /bin/bash admin

Some Linux machines can't act as server (FirePower sensor) though, you can't use GUI SCP. Instead you can copy from the CLI.

If you are using WinSCP, please uncheck the SSH > Authentication > Attempt authentication using Pageant for the login session by editing under Advanced.
Retry.
