SFTP-logon problem
« on: March 19, 2003, 12:52:41 AM »
Hi everyone

Have got a difficult problem trying to get an sftp connection.
I get the following:
*************************************************************************
Finding Host www.mydomain.com ...
Connecting to 111.222.333.444:22
Connected to 111.222.333.444:22, Waiting for Server Response
Server Welcome: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1
Client Version: SSH-2.0-WS_FTP-7.6-2002.08.23

Completed SSH User Authentication.
Started subsystem "sftp" on channel e9d8868f
Received channel request "exit-status" status(1), for channel e9d8868f
Received channel close/eof(0x60) message for channel e9d8868f
Error 842c0000 receiving sftp packet
error 842c0000 initializing sftp protocol
Sending channel close message for channel e9d8868f
SSH Transport closed.
*************************************************************************
SSH authentication seems to be O.K. but then sftp is starting on a subsystem.
If I read this right then my E-smith box apperently sends an exit command.
Have never worked with sftp but would like to shield my passwords from showing up on sniffers.

Some of you guys have any idea's?
