I use SmartFTP because it gives me a beautiful GUI and a terminal simultaneously. The latest updates now make it impossible for me to login.

Is the list of compatible ssh clients after all such cipher stripping documented somewhere? Also, I take the opportunity of warning everyone that there are trojanized putty versions out there¹ that send out the user credentials to the Bad Guys (not a risk for labs, but the same ssh client may be used for other servers where passphrase authentication *is* enabled). The official PuTTY web page is at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ with putty.zip 0.64 sha256 being ff7a0bde4008208a5e30097336c5a41a4ae99fb097839c01ca74cbff19cbe666 Needless to say, PuTTY users should be using the last version (0.64, released 2015-02-28), there are several crashes prior to 0.63 and although 0.64 does not really have big fixes (albeit the default of allowing a SSH-1 downgrade is a bit scary), there's little reason for not upgrading. (I am assuming *nix users don't need to be reminded about using an updated client… Mac OS users maybe?) Have a safe ssh connection! ¹ http://blogs.cisco.com/security/trojanized-putty-software http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/check-your-sources-trojanized-open-source-ssh-software-used-steal-information _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
