#443 SFTP not working

[Luca]

using openssh on Debian Squeeze and the latest areca backup. during test, areca create test_file, but apparently can't delete it. I would be nice to use sftp instead of ftp.
here is the log:

tested my OpenSSH server on Debian Squeeze for sftp with winscp e filezilla and they all work fine. thanks

SSH connections seem broken, using 7.4.9 and Java 8.45 (fresh install 64 bit, both Java and Areca today) on Windows 8.1. Normal backup seems to work fine. I hoped to use the network for backups, alas, it's broken. (Even the Test Connection button causes java errors.) It also complained about 256 bit ssh keys?
