  Thanks for trying that. The next thing I'd try is deleting your SSH known_hosts file. To do that:

  1) In the Finder, choose Go to Folder… from the Go menu
  2) Enter:

  ~/.ssh

  and click Go
  3) Drag known_hosts to the trash

  If that doesn't let you login I suspect there's a server problem, and I would recommend contacting the server administrator.

  Thanks,
