Egads, this is U Toronto? Still using ssh-1? I read it as only indicating that the /home/purslow/.ssh/id_[dr]sa files in the user's home directory were type 1. I'm not clear whether these are in the home directory on the client or on the server, but I wonder if deleting them (`mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh.old`) might allow one to make a ssh2 connection (using a password initially).

In reply to Stroller, all I have in ~/.ssh is 'known_hosts', which does allow successful connection to the remote machine. That's just to respond to both your kind helps (big smiles). I checked the CHASS WWW site it contained an Ssh access link; when I logged in, the system was IRIX64 6.5 the hostname different. Armed with that knowledge, I tried again with the new hostname succeeded with Sftp from CLI from Krusader with Fish from Krusader ! So something did change from Krusader 1.80.0 - 2.0.0 -- perhaps no longer guessing a hostname if it's not found at once -- , but if I enter the (now known) correct hostname everything works as of old.
