Hi,

We are only using the SFTP fuction included in the PragmaFortress suite.  We had suddenly started receiving the following errors in our event log:

source: FortressSSH
Event id: 3
Remote Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:
 ssion limit reached. New SSH sessions rejected.

This is causing processes to fail when running overnight.  Just wondering why we would receive this message?  It is happening at all times, including overnight when activity is minimal.

Thanks,

D

The settings for the Default user will apply to all sessions, including the SFTP sessions.

Please check your Task Manager, or use our ps utility, included with the server, to list the number of sshd.exe, or sshd64.exe, processes on the server. These processes are the ones that mark the number of sessions.
