Error "session aborted on error, (error 18/0)" received in Gateway when connecting to SFTP server

Problem

-- While connecting to an SFTP server, the following error is encountered in the Gateway log.



NET063E   03.11.2011  12:26:56  (26) session aborted on error,  (error 18/0).
SFTP010E  03.11.2011  12:26:56  ITEM-47839(25)      ABORT received : 0 0.


Resolution

* Check the Outgoing SSH Client Profile in Gateway. Make sure the "Client Authentication Method" is set to the one which the SFTP server supports.



For example, usually SFTP servers do not allow anonymous login.
If for instance "Client Authentication Method" is set to 'Anonymous' the above errors may be received.
