ssh_exchange_identification: read: Software caused connection abort

[José Mudarra]

Dear all,

I'm having troubles to perform the test after setting up the public key in my bitbucket account and executing following command: ssh -T git@bitbucket.org

I've performed a debug as well and this is the result: 

$ ssh -v git@bitbucket.org
OpenSSH_7.9p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1a 20 Nov 2018
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Any idea? 

Thanks in advance and regards,

Hello Jose and welcome to the Community!

Thank you for reporting this issue and providing your logs which include the error. We would suggest further testing of your SSH authentication to ensure it is functioning as expected. There are a few steps to this process and due to this, we will reference the documentation. Please review the following to test: Troubleshoot SSH issues | Test SSH authentication.

Additionally, ensure you’re using a connection with TLSv1.2. TLS 1 and 1.1 have been deprecating (Deprecating TLSv1 and TLSv1.1).

If you’re still having issues after going through the steps within the referenced material please let us know.

Regards,
Stephen Sifers

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I could perform set up my local folder with the remote repository with HTTPS url. I'm already uploading source code to Bitbucket and this GIT test is still not working. I've followed Troubleshoot SSH issues | Test SSH authentication. documentation, but no success. 

Anyway, I already can integrate with the remote repository. I don't understand what's going on with my test. 

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Jose.

Hi, I'm having this problem now, when I use my internet at home, I can use fetch/pull/push easily. But when I'm at my mother's house, I can't operate and this error returns.

I have the same error. Is there any solution?

[Mohamed Aymen Benabdessamad]

instead of using SSH key try to use HTTPS link, because i had the same problem;
just do :
git remote - v 

then check which one is linked with HTTP link , in my case i found out that "source" is linked , and then use that" source" as <remote> and it will work
git push -u source ur_branch_name


I hope this will help youn because that works for me
