I have File Station set up to mount an external location via SFTP (as a "remote connection") to copy files down to my Synology easily. For the last six months, it has worked fine every day. Open the connection in the side bar and then get a tree view of directories and the contents in the main pane.
Today, I started getting permission errors on the already mounted and displaying external connection halfway through the day, saying that I didn't have permission to copy a file when I tried to copy it down. After debugging my local permissions, I realized it was probably the external SFTP server. I deleted the remote connection entirely and attempted to set it up from scratch again as an SFTP connect in the Remote Connection wizard. When the wizard attempts to make the new SFTP connection to the remote site, I get a dialog box that just says "Authentication failed."
If I run a local SFTP client on my desktop (not synology) and connect to the same site with my existing username and password, it works fine. Turning on logs for file station doesn't generate a log when it fails (but I'd expect it to just say SSH failed).
All of this worked for months until today and no changes were made before it started failing. I, in fact, had the remote site logged so initially it just showed up as a permission failure to copy the file that I already had in a directory listing from earlier today. I'm running current DSM7, all packages up to date.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug WTF is going on here?
