SSH / SFTP – Too much time between connect and authentication

The Solution:

Issue solved.   The problem was, that we stepped through the code and because of that too much time elapsed between connect and authentication.  As we ran the program without breakpoints it worked.

The Problem:

The AuthenticatePw method failed and the LastErrorText contained this information:
