When you see this error it is usually because you have configured Screens Connect to use a different protocol than the one set in your saved screen.
Screens Connect
If you enable secure connections (SSH) in the Screens Connect preference window...
Screens Connect for macOS
- Open the preferences window via the Screens Connect menu bar icon > Preferences...
- Check if Use Remote Login is enabled
Screens Connect for Windows
- Double-click on the Screens Connect System Tray icon for the preferences window to appear
- Check if Use SSH Tunneling is enabled
Screens
If you disable secure connections in Screens Connect, then do the same in Screens. Screens should normally perform that operation automatically.
- Open Screens
- Go to your saved connection settings under Security
- Check if Use Secure Connection is enabled. This setting should be the same as in Screens Connect (on or off)
