Hello @Ajay and welcome to this community :wave:

What are you attempting to connect to? Are you trying to establish an SSH connection to the Jenkins controller? Or are you attempting to connect from the Jenkins controller to a Jenkins agent? Or is there another scenario you have in mind? Please provide further details and elaborate on your specific use case.

Hello @poddingue ,

I firstly thanks for your reply, here i am setting up CICD pipeline in Jenkins, so here i m trying to establish in SSH server to connect i gave all required thing there like Name, Hostname, Username. and in Advance also i checked the Use password authentication, or use a different key gave phrase or password there and port was opened at 22 and timeouts(ms) - 300000. but i m still getting the error jenkins.plugins.publish_over.BapPublisherException: Failed to connect and initialize SSH connection. Message: [Failed to connect SFTP channel. Message [java.io.IOException: inputstream is closed]].

I am able to build and once this was cleared then i can take the backup and replace the latest build in our servers as per my configuration.
