Issues with SSH
Issues with SSH
I have a VPS from dream-host (because I had a discount code) where I host a couple of small sites. I have ssh access to this VPS and it normally works fine. Recently (in the past hr) it has started not accepting ssh connections. It will let me establish a connection, I enter my password just fine, but then when I type in a command - in the example "cd Desktop" it will immediately close the connection. Here is an example with the flag -vvv. Also - all personal info has been replaced with *** so don't try Spoiler Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.248] © 2017 Microsoft Corporation.

It appears the server is encountering a missing file error, likely because the path has been altered. The debug message suggests the system no longer recognizes the intended directory. Try running common commands like ifconfig, mkdir, rmdir, and vim to see if they resolve the issue. If none work, the connection may be broken due to a changed path or permission problem.
