Thanks a lot for your answer which made me look on the right web page :-) .

In 2008 I generated the ssh  keys (DSA) which have been deprecated in
2019: https://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=9452

I generated and uploaded new keys  -- and it know works again.

Best Regards,
Heinz-Josef

hjclaes@dl.sv.nongnu.org's password:

What do I have to do to make it work again? (Last working upload was at
April 2014. I have a backup from Jan. 2014. Can I restore something from
my old backup to the actual gpg data/config?)
Savannah keeps a copy of your "public" key, and expects you to have
the "private" half in your .ssh folder. You can use gpg to generate a
new keypair.

Option 1) If you want to debug why it doesn't work, try repeating the
command with the "-v" option. I don't know if scp supports a double
"-vv" for even more verbosity. That will provide information about
which keys were exchanged etc. You can try:
ssh -vvv hjclaes@dl.sv.nongnu.org

Option 2) If you don't care too much about why it's not working today,
but suspect a missing keypair, then you can generate a new keypair and
upload the public key as described here:

Kind regards,
Jan
