Mac OS X vmware guest 'failed to open ssh session. (16)' when using Application Uploader

Question

I have been trying to upload an iOS app to Apple App Store for almost a week without success. The last of the series of problems I am faced is the persistent SSH connection error from Application Uploader.

The session's status is FAILED and the error description is
'failed to open ssh session. (16).'

Have read this but I don't have a Mac - only a vmware guest Mac OS. Would be grateful if anyone can point me towards a fix. Is this a problem with VM machine settings. Firewall? Appreciate your help. Thanks.

Answer 1

After having the same issue I've been able to fix this issue.

To solve this issue you need to:

Go to page 6 "System and Network Requirements" from https://itunesconnect.apple.com/docs/UsingApplicationLoader.pdf

verify that all of the ports and IP addresses are accessible.

After opening all of the ports from the table, I'm now able to upload my apps.

Enjoy!
