Answer 1

just found out, what was the problem in my case (provider strato): I had the same problem with output "shell request failed on channel 0" in the end.

I have to use the master password with the web-domain name as login. (In German www.wunschname.de, where wunschname is your web-address.)

A ssh login with sftp-user names and the corresponding passwords is without success. (Although scp and sftp works with these sftp users!)
