SFTP Login failure in the last month

I've recently been getting an SFTP login failure when running my FME workspace.

 

This was working back in July, but is now throwing the following errors:

FTP info:  Trying 'SFTP IP ADDRESS'...

FTP info: Connected to SERVERNAME ('SFTP IP ADDRESS') port 22 (#0)

FTP info: SSH MD5 fingerprint: 'FINGERPRINT'

FTP info: SSH authentication methods available: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive,password

FTP info: Failure requesting identities to agent

FTP info: Authentication failure

FTP info: Closing connection 0

FTP/FTPS/SFTP transfer error: Login denied

 

Now, this I can still connect via my same SSH key using an FTP tool such as WinSCP no problem.

 

I'm loading the private key via a SystemCaller and the following command beforehand:

Start cmd /c "C:/Program Files/PuTTY/pageant.exe" C:\\PrivateKeys\\PrivateKey.ppk

Do you have access to the log of the FTP server?

Hi, I do not have access to the FTP server logs.

 

However, I did notice as of yesterday that the connection seems to be working again.

I have no idea what changed to allow this, as I haven't made any changes to the FME workspace since this has come up.

 

It's possible it is related to the FTP server instead.
