Hi all:

First of all thanks for your time and responses.

I have an updated Kopia installation that was working up to 2 days ago.

sftp is working fine on this machine and I’m able to connect via SFTP from Mac on which I’m running kopia to the SFTP server.

Kopia Server gives me this error:

% kopia server  
failed to open repository: cannot open storage: unable to create sftp client: unable to create sftp client: ssh: unexpected packet in response to channel open:   
panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference  
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x20 pc=0x14fccc6]

…

Seems like I’m not allow to put the full output error (no more than 2 links for new users?.. I didn’t paste any link at all…

Anyway.

Thanks
