[xubuntu-users] Failure to Connect SFTP Error

[Rog]

I rely on Filezilla to transfer files to my hosting service but it no longer 
works. It fails at the very beginning, failing to connect. Much searching w/ 
Google turns up no answers. Nor does a tech support consultation with the 
hosting service. The failure is NOT due to wrong username or password as I can 
establish ssh connections from the CLI.

Konqueror also fails to connect and gives the following, more detailed error:

    The requested operation could not be completed

    Details of the Request:
    URL: sftp:// [redacted]
    Protocol: sftp
    Date and Time: Thursday, June 01, 2017 04:18 PM
    Additional Information: kex error : no match for method kex algos: server
    [diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256], client
    [curve25519-sha256 at libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1]
    Description:

I note that I've gone so far as deleting all Filezilla-related files and 
re-installing it as well as deleting my known hosts file, to no avail. So I 
turn to this list in desperation. I would really like to continue to use 
Filezilla because it's fast and easy.
