Hi , I am new to ssh and I have a linux box 6.0 redhat running ssh-2.0.13 version alongwith fwtk of TIS acting as ftp gateway on the net. When i try to connect from a client in which F-secure ssh terminal and tunnel client for windows is loaded, I am getting the following error: On the Client side (in msdos prompt) sftp2 -v a.b.c.d user ************************************************************ To enable, configure with --enable-debug and recompile. debug: host a.b.c.d port (null) debug: Unable to open .//ssh2/ssh2_config debug: hostname is 'a.b.c.d'. debug: connecting to a.b.c.d... debug: Registered connecting socket: 6 debug: entering event loop debug: Replaced connected socket object 6 with a stream debug: ssh_client_wrap: creating transport protocol debug: ssh_client_wrap: creating userauth protocol debug: c_to_s: cipher 3des-cbc, mac hmac-md5, compression none debug: s_to_c: cipher 3des-cbc, mac hmac-md5, compression none debug: Host key found from the database. debug: client_disconnect: No further authentication methods available.

Why's it showing DNS lookup failed ? Should the client be having a valid hostname registered with a dns server for ssh connectivity ? I am trying sftp2 from the windows client ver 2 available from www.datafellows.com . Please help !!! Regards -- Sreehari Padmanabhan ------------------------------------------------------
