Hi,
I'm currently implementing a solution using Logic Apps to transfer data to an external location. The plan is to use SFTP-SSH, but when trying to connect I get
Test connection failed: Error 'Key exchange failed.'
I can connect using WinSCP so the key is good.
Having discussed this with the other party, they ask to find out which key exchange algorithm is being used, or specifically if any of the following is supported:
The documenation specifies which encryption algorithm is supported, but not the KEX algorithms:

Did you find an answer to this? I'm having the same problem.

Hi,
I am facing the similar issue "Error starting up SSH connection(-5): Unable to exchange encryption keys" . I trying to connect from PHP.
Any sugesstions?
Thanks
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.
The SFTP-SSH connector uses SSH.NET library. Supported key exchange methods are listed here.
Hi, and thanks!
Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem.
It should have worked - ******@libssh.org is present but still. The other party added some more KEX algorithms: diffie-hellman-group16-sha512 and diffie-hellman-group18-sha512 - but the problem persists.
@Ådne Brunborg Sorry to hear that. Please refer to my private comment so I can assist you further.
