Shalom,

Changes have been made to the sshd_config file on the server to specifically block sftp.

I suggest comparing the sshd_config file on a good system and correcting what would appear to be a mistake.

Hello,

Our colleague SEP made a slight typing error.
I am sure it was accidental on his part.

PermitLocalCommand is part of client side
SSH setup (file ssh_config not sshd_config).

It allows local command execution via the
LocalCommand option or using the !command escape sequence in ssh.

The argument must be â yesâ or â noâ .
The default is â noâ .

Your config file is possibly corrupt or contains invalid statements.

Cheers,
