I am getting the following error when i try to connect through WinSCP/Putty to one of my backup/development servers. I am able to connect to Virtualmin on the browser though on that machine.
no supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey, gssapi-keyex, gssapi-with-mic)
The reason I think/know for this problem is this: Last week, I removed some unwanted software via the GUI on the machine/box, which in turn probably removed some dependencies.
Using the same WinSCP/Putty (latest versions), I am able to connect to other servers without any problem whatsoever. I am certain it is not a problem with WinSCP or PuTTY!
Appreciate help greatly.

Even FTP fails on that machine

Howdy -- is it just one user you're having a problem with, or is it all users?
Also, is SSH configured not to accept password-based logins? It sounds as if it may be requiring an SSH key.
Regarding FTP -- what error do you receive when trying to access FTP?
all users, including root.
FTP: "Access denied" even after entering the correct password..
SSH: I did not make any changes to ssh settings on the server manually.
Got it.
PasswordAuthentication was set to no; Changed it to yes. Now, I am able to login via PuTTY/WinSCP
Thanks andreychek for the tip.

Great, I'm glad you can login via SSH!
Do you still need a hand with FTP?
