I am so happy you could help him!
To answer your question for myself, I never have this issue. No crashes, and i can spend hours working on line. Further I have done more than my share of downloads with sftpd386 as well.

My ssh2dos is very unstable - it usually crashes on exit or after five to
ten minutes.  Do you have this issue as well?  I am curious if I should try
a different version of DOS.

Wow. I am stunned. This has solved the problem. I have spent more than a

I am now able to log into a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server with OpenSSH 7.2
Client is a fresh install of FreeDOS 1.2 where I installed ssh2dos with
"FDNPKG install ssh2dos"

Thank you very, very much!

I forgot - you may need to regenerate your keys with "ssh-keygen -A" after
modifying the server.

I would like to answer Ulrich on how he can modify his Ubuntu server, but
first, a warning: These algorithms were disabled because they are obsolete
and insecure.  Using a token based login, such as google-authenticator, may
be advisable if your server is public facing.

Firstly, add this to your server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group1-sha1,curve25519-sha...@libssh.org
,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-
hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
Ciphers 3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,aes128-cbc,aes128-ctr,aes256-ctr
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-dss

Then, make use of the -g option - it goes BEFORE your username in
ssh2dos.  You should now be able to connect.

I do not know why simply adding +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 doesn't work,
it seems it should.  Also, I was in a rush - I may be excluding some newer
options - report back if you find/add them with success.

Hi Bill,
While I appreciate your desire for wisdom, I feel rather sure  my
specific situation will not apply to anyone else here most likely.
I use ssh2d386 to  access at least one commercial shell, but those shell
services are maintained by others.  I am not for example accessing my own
server.
If the servers you desire reaching are run by other people,  give me an
example and I will try.
If my many years of computing has taught me anything is that the word
Personal  is important for a reason.

Karen,

If you know how to get ssh2d386 to connect to a modern openssh, as on
Ubuntu 16.04,
please share the recipe with us!

Thanks,

Well, if you have given up no point in my sharing.
We use the same edition of Ubuntu, both with dreamhost who has my
office,
and here at shellworld.
While the latter requires me to make use of a few ssh2021b options,
the -g
option  for example, I encounter no issues.
I am going to guess that  things like machine speed, mine is a p3 with
allot of memory, impacts your situation.
nor, I would hope, your  location in the world.
Sorry I did not notice your post before you abandoned  the effort.

As I am presently writing this e-mail using ssh2d386 from the ssh2dos
package ssh2021b,  perhaps I can help you troubleshoot.


Hi Karen!

I am using the exact same program and version.

for the record, I am not using freedos, but  the ms dos 7.10 package

mentioned on this list.
Still every day several times a day I connect  to two different
servers
using  this package.


I guess your servers still run OpenSSH in versions earlier than 6.9.

may I ask again what your issue is presently?



Actually I have given up on it. I spent another day trying to get it
to
work, but without success.

The problem is that I can???t connect to an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server with
OpenSSH 7.2.

SSH2D386 gives the message:

    Expected KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP
    DH key exchange failed

The server logs:
    Jan 27 00:02:22 ubuntu-VirtualBox sshd[2651]: error: kex protocol
error: type 30 seq 1 [preauth]
    Jan 27 00:02:22 ubuntu-VirtualBox sshd[2651]: error: Received
disconnect from 192.168.1.110 port 645:3: Expected KEX_DH_GEX_GRO

As I wrote I already had problems connecting to a Debian 8 server with
OpenSSH 6.7.
But there I could fix it with these lines in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on
the
server.

    Ciphers aes128-cbc
    KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
    MACs hmac-sha1
    HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-css

But in OpenSSH 7.2 this didn???t work.

What else did I try?

I tried to set MTU=576 in C:\FDOS\WATTCP.CFG.

I tried to recompile OpenSSH.
The first time with adding this line in in compat.c:
    { "SSHDOS*",                SSH_OLD_DHGEX },
The second time with this one:
    { "SSHDOS*",                SSH_BUG_NOREKEY|SSH_BUG_FIRSTKEX },

Both were not able to let SSH2D386 connect. It worked great with other
SSH clients.

The idea was that SSH2DOS uses code from PuTTY and there were already
several exceptions in combat.c for old PuTTY versions. The reason
seems to
be that OpenSSH implemented RFC4419 and old PuTTY versions and
SSH2DOS did
not. See [1], [2].

I even looked at the SSH2DOS source code. But I have no experience
with
OpenWatcom. I installed it but gave up, when I saw I also had to
compile
the WATT32 TCP/IP stack.

SSH2DOS uses PuTTY code, which is also Free Software. So in theory it
should be possible to replace the old PuTTY code with a more recent
one.

cheers
Ulrich
