Fortigate-60 3.00,build0318,060630 I have been backing up the config of this device for a while ssh->tftp, now all of a sudden I can no longer ssh to login to the device. I can still get in via http and telnet (which we normally keep disabled). This is the response I get when attemtping to login. No difference even after clearing the key from my known_hosts file. ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host Any thoughts other than rebooting? Anything I can check via the CLI?

    ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
    That' s message happens when the client has no right to connect to an ssh server due to policies configured at ssh server. Re-check your " trusted-hosts" in admin settings to see if it match your current IP location

    I can still browse and telnet to it therefore my IP is a trusted and always has been a " trusted host" . We have several of these devices that are experiencing the same issues after working fine for a period of time. I did hear from support and it' s a known bug that' s supposedly fixed in MR3.

    Any update on this one ?

    I am having exact same issue. Suddenly started getting "Connection Reset by peer" messages.
