Research direction

Start by reproducing the post-install mount against the three remote hosts, then compare the behavior with the reported password prompt and "read: Connection reset by peer" message. Investigate why -d, -o sshfs_debug, and -o DebugLog= provide no useful diagnostics; done means identifying a reproducible cause and confirming that subsequent mounts work after the fix.

Description

What the title says. It worked fine the first time I used it, but every subsequent time after entering my password it says "read: Connection reset by peer"

This persists after reboots.

I know this is something that often happens when host key verification fails, but I don't know how to test for that. And the first host's key hasn't changed (it's a linux computer sitting right next to my Windows computer). And this happens on other hosts as well (tested against three different remote servers, same behavior).

I'm not sure how to trouble shoot this. -d doesn't output anything and -o sshfs_debug just prints the version. -o DebugLog= creates an empty file.
