Title: WinSCP 2 Error?
Post by: Cyrus Bharda on March 11, 2003, 02:00:34 AM

Howdy all,

I hear this program WinSCP being talked about more and more these days, so I went and downloaded it to give it a go, but after I enter in the host and the admin username and the admin passwordall I get is a dialog box appear stating that:

Error skipping startup message
Not connected.

So I setup a log and here is it:

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help,

Does your admin account bring up the configuration screen or a shell prompt?  WinSCP needs SSH shell access to work properly.

You should login using root instead of admin. The admin account on SME defaults to bringing up the management console and not a command line interface like the root account.

Hope this helps,
