Although the fix above works for ssh I cannot connect with filezilla and get the following error:

Pageant failed to answer challenge

So I removed SSL_AUTH_SOCK from .bashrc and could then connect again with filezilla, but not ssh.

After a look around I can connect with ssh using the following format :

ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no <email address hidden>

This also works for scp. However, it is a pain in the butt.

If you use keys it circumvents the issue. However, not every machine I connect to and from has keys.

As per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1380084/comments/12 I am surprised that this does not affect more people
