Use chmod

On the server you're trying to connect to...

cd /home

Make sure you own your home directory and the subdirectories below it (especially .ssh).

chmod 755 your_home_folder

cd your_home_folder

chmod 700 .ssh

cd .ssh

chmod 644 authorized_keys
chmod 600 any_keys_stored_there

Your public key should be stored in the .ssh directory with 600 permissions.
Your private key should be stored in Putty on your workstation.

Here's another thought, when you created your user on the server, you did set the password, right?
passwd your_user_name

Also try
passwd -u your_user_name
just to make sure you didn't lock yourself out.

Yes I set the password when I set up the server. I am the only one that uses it. I even set up the new server the same way. What is strange is I never go into my server via SSH. So there was no customization that would restrict me from logging in. The only reason I found out was when I tried using the transfer tool.

I have changed password
Turned off/on firewall
Checked port
Checked allowed users

Again none of this was ever changed before.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas on this one.

Going to repeat:
Either the user (myuser) is not a real Linux user
Or
You’re not entering the correct password.

Did you try using root?
Did you try from your “new” server instead of from putty?

Yews the user name is correct. I have verified its there and its the only one I use. Password has been changed. Logs don't say password is incorrect. If I intentionally type the wrong password it will say its incorrect. Then I type the correct one and it disconnects. Yes I have logged into my new server just fine. I also have five other users and none of those will connect.

You said you’ve conned to this server with ssh in the past. What’s changed since then?
And, again, have you tried to connect as root?

Nothing has changed. I think have SSHd only a couple times because I have no need to log in. So I made no changes or customization. I have had this login for about five years. Yes if I try root it says access denied. If I try any other user it will close out. I am not a server pro and I am willing to check any log file someone can recommend. I have spent five days trying to log in.

Based on the log posted in your OP, either the user or the password is incorrect.
If you’ve logged in with that user/pass in the past something must have changed...
How long ago did you ssh to that server?

A few years ago. Just to be sure I changed the password. But if you type it correct it closes. If you type it wrong it says its wrong.

If I type the wrong password I get this:
pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=xxx.xxx.xx.xx user=myname
Aug 26 10:20:35 ip-166-62-46-26 sshd[25649]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for myname from xxx.xxx.xx.xx
If I type it correct there is no record of it in the log. This looks like where its failing.

The method in #19 above should show the login attempt and a reason for the failure, if you check the resulting file after you've tried logging in. That method will eliminate all the noise and leave you with log data specific to that one session and that session only.

Because that appears truncated, I have to ask what response you get in the client when connecting to port 2222?

That was all that was outputted. Do you want me to try logging in with Putty? Sorry I am new to this.

No problem. Please run the port 2222 option, then try to log in with PuTTY so that you get your error. Then check the file on the server after that.

Please run the port 2222 option? Logged in with Putty at port 2222
Then try to log in with PuTTY so that you get your error. "Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
Then check the file on the server after that. What file?
