Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server.

According to our experts, this error message pops up when there is an issue with the SFTP connection between Plesk and the remote SFTP server.

Some of the common reasons behind this error include:

• Network Connectivity Issues
• Authentication Problems
• Firewall or Security Software Interference
• SFTP Server Configuration
• Server Resource Limitations

Troubleshooting Tips

Our experts have put together these troubleshooting tips to help you out:

• First, we have to verify that the Plesk server and the SFTP server can communicate with each other. We can do that by checking for network issues or firewalls blocking the connection.
• Next, recheck the SFTP server’s login credentials in Plesk.
• Then, we have to review the logs on the SFTP server to look for any error messages for further information.
• If the above tips did not help, try a different SFTP client or tool to connect to the SFTP server. If the error does not pop up the issue is specific to Plesk.
• Next, verify the SFTP server is correctly configured to accept connections from the Plesk server.
• After that, we have to examine the resource usage on the SFTP server to see if resource limitations are behind the issue.
• Finally, make sure that Plesk and the SFTP server software are up-to-date with the latest patches and updates.
