JSchException: Algorithm negotiation fail

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to remote sftp server over ssh with JSch (0.1.44-1) but during "session.connect();" I am getting this exception:

com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Algorithm negotiation fail
        at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.receive_kexinit(Session.java:529)
        at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:291)
        at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:154)
…

Logs from JSch:

I am able to log in to remote server with linux sftp command. I was trying to find any kind of clue in the internet but I failed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok the problem is solved, I have found that I the remote server had only these encryption options: .

To enable aes256-cbc I had to apply  "Java Cryptography Extension (JCE)  Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files" as it was written in http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/README.

After this I can connect to remote server without problems.
