sshfs: Permission denied

When I try to

sshfs -o allow_other,debug kodi@192.168.0.8:~/ /mnt/mount/

I get following message:

Code

SSHFS version 3.7.3
executing <ssh> <-x> <-a> <-oClearAllForwardings=yes> <-2> <kodi@192.168.0.8> <-s> <sftp>
kodi@192.168.0.8: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
read: Connection reset by peer

Tried with and without password enabled. I also installed the sftp plugin.

Running latest libreelec 11.0.1 on a RPi 2. Guest computer runs openSUSE Tumbleweed.

The other end denied access, so check its logs to see why.

@LieberBieber

Mounting a network drive with 'sshfs' is a bit more difficult than 'curlftpfs', however 'sshfs' is supported in LE and 'curlftpfs' is not.

Previous commands that must be executed on a LE/CE client device only once before executing 'sshfs' to a LibreELEC or CoreELEC server:

Code

ssh-keygen -f "/storage/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "[192.168.xxx.yyy]:22"
echo n | ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /storage/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh root@192.168.xxx.yyy "mkdir -p /storage/.ssh"
cat /storage/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh root@192.168.xxx.yyy "cat >> /storage/.ssh/authorized_keys"

# where 192.168.xxx.yyy is the IP address of the LibreELEC or CoreELEC SSH server

only from now on will 'sshfs' mount commands always work.

Thanks for the reply, now everything works for me.
