This error indicates you've got a malware infected version of SSH on one side or the other.

You may be able to reinstall the openssh packages, in order to get your backups to work; you could also transfer them backups in some other way (maybe FTP, maybe dumping them to S3, or making a backup to a USB disk, if you have physical access to the hardware).

Check out the forum guidelines!

tried this, but no success at the moment to sort the PortLocalCommand problem, but I'll con tinue to look intop it as it would be good to see what the problem was

I have access so can do backups other ways. (although thi sone is my backup server anyway :) )

is this folder valid on server ?

/usr/libexec/webmin/filemin/unauthenticated/js/lib/codemirror/theme/

I setup a new server but had a problem accessing it. however, I can now access new server but still getting cloudmin replication problem

Failed to transfer command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: PermitLocalCommand lost connection to : domain.net so this must be a problem with the original server. hopefully it will help me identify the problem
