Does the user have a valid account and password on the remote system? If the userid being used is root, does the remote sshd allow direct root logins? Does using protocol version 1 help (add -1 to the command)? Does the remote sshd require public-key authentication? Does the remote sshd require successful reverse DNS lookups? You might want to run the remote sshd in debug mode, to see if it puts out anything interesting: sshd -e -D -d -d Since the sysadmin won't want to make it impossible for others to SSH in while this is going on, adding an alternate port number will let you test while not causing disruption: sshd -e -D -d -d -p 2022 and then you'll need to modify the sftp command to connect to that port: sftp -oPort=2022 Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
