SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT: 2 Failed to read binary packet data!

Post by Support_Andy »

If an SFTP client reports this error and is unable to connect to GoAnywhere's SFTP Service after turning on FIPS 140-2 Mode, this may be a side effect of running the SFTP Service with too small of a key size.

The SFTP Service must have a key size minimum of 2048. Please see the following article for additional information:
