How to find cipher keywords in ssh_config(5)
I see in the man page for ssh that I can find the cipher listings in "ssh_config(5)"
Where can I find this?
Context:
I'm attempting to ssh sftp into a company's sftp account that they provided me. What I receive back is the following message:
"Unable to negotiate with XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX port XX: no matching cipher found. Their offer: aes256-cbc,3des-cbc,aes128-cbc"
I'm assuming changing my cipher to aes 256-cbc will solve my issue.
Kind regards :)

It's telling you to look for the ssh_config pages, in section 5 of the online manual i.e. man 5 ssh_config:
Ciphers
Specifies the ciphers allowed for protocol version 2 in order of
preference. Multiple ciphers must be comma-separated. If the
specified value begins with a ‘+’ character, then the specified
ciphers will be appended to the default set instead of replacing
them.
The supported ciphers are:
3des-cbc
aes128-cbc
aes192-cbc
aes256-cbc
aes128-ctr
aes192-ctr
aes256-ctr
aes128-gcm@openssh.com
aes256-gcm@openssh.com
arcfour
arcfour128
arcfour256
blowfish-cbc
cast128-cbc
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
The default is:
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,
aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,
aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,3des-cbc
The list of available ciphers may also be obtained using the -Q
option of ssh(1) with an argument of “cipher”.
As noted therein, you could also use ssh -Q cipher:
$ ssh -Q cipher
3des-cbc
blowfish-cbc
cast128-cbc
arcfour
arcfour128
arcfour256
aes128-cbc
aes192-cbc
aes256-cbc
rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se
aes128-ctr
aes192-ctr
aes256-ctr
aes128-gcm@openssh.com
aes256-gcm@openssh.com
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com
