SSH ONLY Remote System Connection Fails [message #1867776]

Newcomer to this forum but been using Eclipse for many years and this is my first need to seek help.
Anyway, I upgraded a AWS Ubuntu 20.04 VM to 22.04 and keep getting a RSEG1066 Auth Error.
I was running a very old 2020-12 version of Eclipse on Windows 11 for a long time now with no issues.
I've upgraded to 2024-06 as thought that would sort the problem, afraid not.
1 major difference Is I had to swap from the older ppk auth key files to pem key files but even doing this I still can't connect.
I can get Putty and NotePad++, using NppFTP, to connect no problems with the pem key I have and the user auth details.
It does seem the issue may probably be with Ubuntu 22.04 changes to encryption algorithm support from reading various sites but what's changed with Eclipse that it can't connect where as putty etc. still can?
Do I need to add a new version of a more secure key to the server so Eclipse can connect?

Thanks, Diplonics

P.S. I tried searching this topic on the forum but the 'Forum Search' return a 403 Forbidden error!!

It would probably help to know what you are doing when you receive the error and to what are you trying to connect. What exactly did you install/download? Something from here?

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/

Or from here:

https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

Can you share a stack trace (from the Error Log view)?

There is this more dedicated forum, but it's not very active:

I downloaded the windows zip for eclipse-ide-php-developers from www.eclipse.org/downloads....
This started after the Server Upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.
I changed nothing in Eclipse, Putty or Notepad++.
Once the server upgrade finished I could reconnect no problem with putty and notepad++ without changing anything.
However Eclipse has started this connection issue.
When I load Eclipse and select an SFTP folder on the remote server I get a UI as captured in attached image 1.

This is when I get the first error message as follows:
****Saved passwords are not available for migration to secure storage. Deprecated authorization classes (org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth) are not installed.****
However this only relates to securely storing the password locally which I don't do.

So, I enter my password and things move onto the next attached image 2, I'm presuming this first password is for my account on the server:

After I enter the auth key password in this second image I get the RSEG1066 error with this message:
****Failed to connect sshd on "<Server IP here>"****
****Auth Fail****

And the Error Log for this is empty with:

****An exception stack trace is not available.****

Got this RSE connection working again but not sure if most secure/best solution.
As I guessed, but wasn't nearly sure, the fix was needed server side.
Not sure what this means for the Eclipse RSE setup given Putty and Notepad++ reconnected no problems after the server upgrade.
Is Eclipse handing the OpenSSH Pem to the server differently then Putty and Notepad++!!
The only difference in the keys being used is Notepad++ uses the servers original pem key, Putty uses the ppk version and I generated an OpenSSH pem for Eclipse.

Anyway, in the server authlog I was getting this error block only when Eclipse was trying to connect:

userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-rsa not in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms [preauth]
error: Received disconnect from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 62726:3: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail [preauth]
Disconnected from authenticating user XXXXX xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 62726 [preauth]
sudo:   XXXXX : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/XXXXX ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/tail -n 100 /var/log/auth.log
sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root(uid=0) by XXXXX(uid=1001)

Using a solution from the askubuntu 1409105 question ubuntu-22-04-ssh-the-rsa-key-isnt-working-since-upgrading-from-20-04 I added this:
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa into /etc/ssh/ssh_config and restarted sshd and now I can connect again....
