ssh probs ?

[naragam]

Is there some way to figure out why my ssh/sftp sessions are being terminated even before I start, right after login? I know I have used my remote Linux cluster server earlier from my ubuntu PC and I can get there any time from my Windows PC using Windows ssh and ftp clients....TiA for any advise...

Are you getting any error messages?

Also you can do is run the ssh command with the option -vv or even -vvv for verbose output from the ssh communication process.

Let's first identify if this is an SSH problem.

Can you login to machine without SSH (i.e. walk up to the machine and login to a TTY)?

To add to what newbie-user wrote, have a look at syslog (/var/log/syslog) on the sshd server give you any hints why the sessions are being cut short.

If you don't find any hints, then trying running sshd with the debug flag (-d) and check the log again.
