Description
Hi,
I'm having issues to connect to a new SFTP server.
I initially had the following error message when trying to connect using v.2.0.2:
New-SFTPSession : Failed to negociate key exchange algorithm.
I then upgraded to v3.0.6 and installed .net 4.8 and i now have a different error message and still unbale to connect:
New-SFTPSession : The connection was closed by the server: Failed to read binary packet data! (ProtocolError).
I'm able to connect with Putty's psftp tool.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Val

Research direction
Start by reproducing New-SFTPSession against the reported SFTP server and compare the behavior with PuTTY's psftp tool. The issue does not name a source file or test, so trace the SFTP connection and packet-reading path; done means identifying the cause of the ProtocolError and confirming a successful connection or a documented limitation.
