ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Hello, this one is different. Nothing missing or anything. I am using cygwin and it just stops when I do git push production on my server. This is usually ok, but I wonder why it is stopping connections.

I still don't understand the issue, but this worked for me:

echo "sshd:ALL" >> /etc/hosts.allow

Depending on your system, you may need to sudo this.

Your ssh client is trying password authentication before public key authentication.

Check your ~/.ssh/config and /etc/ssh/ssh_config files for a PreferredAuthentications entry.

I see similar behavior if I add the following entry to my ~/.ssh/config file:

PreferredAuthentications password,publickey

If you have something like that in either of the aforementioned files, comment it out.

Ssh – How to manage ssh keys to add a second user

You need to login using the putty on the windows machine and exit the .ssh/authorized_keys file and add the key that you generated on the mac to the file.

Do not run the command

scp -2 -P 50022 -v ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub newuser@111.222.333.444:

That will over write the existing key on the server, and it will not work either as the server only accepts key logins.
