How to fix "no matching host key type found"

If you try to connect remotely to a Linux server with SSH but cannot connect and see this error:

Unable to negotiate with 192.168.1.168 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

This occurs because the client uses a newer SSH version with ssh-rsa and ssh-dss disabled. See the additional information. https://www.openssh.com/legacy.html To resolve it:

1. Add an option to the command. For ssh-dss:

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss [email protected]

For ssh-rsa:

ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa [email protected]

2. Edit ~/.ssh/config. For ssh-dss:

Host 192.168.1.168
  HostName 192.168.1.168
  HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss

For ssh-rsa:

Host 192.168.1.168
  HostName 192.168.1.168
  HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa
