PhpStorm doesn't transfer files via SFTP deployment

Question

I have a strange problem. For a long time I used to deploy my files from local macbook to local VM via SFTP deployment by PhpStorm. From one moment, without doing any configuration changes (as far as I recognized) it does't work any more.

• When I hit the Test SFTP connection button in the settings it tells me that it was successful.
• When I click Tools -> Deployment -> Browse remote server it seems to connect but doesn't show any files.
• When I right click a file and choose "upload to xy" it says [13.02.15 20:15] Upload to xy but the file never shows up on the VM.

In VM auth.log appears:

Feb 13 20:15:39 precise64 sshd[2272]: Connection closed by 33.33.33.1 [preauth]

What I did so far:

• Update PhpStorm to 8.0.3.
• Update Java to 1.8.0_31.
• Update ssh to 6.7p1.
• Invalidate Caches and Restart PhpStorm.

Don't know what to do else. Vagrant ssh and ssh or scp with credentials from my PhpStorm works fine on command line.

Any ideas?

Why is it always searching for hours and as far as you post it somewhere you find the answer yourself?

I came across this site: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/27854363-IDE-doesn-t-start-after-updating-to-Mac-OS-Yosemite-or-Mavericks It says that JDK 1.6 should be used. I reinstalled it and tadaaa it works.
