Hi there,
Summary: sftp does not work with the server I use to host some stuff.
It can successfully connect to my own machine. The error I get is
"bash: sftp: command not found" *after* I log in successfully.
Details:
OS: Linux (no distribution), kernel 2.4.2
ssh: OpenSSH_2.5.2p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090601
Target System OS: Linux optimal.optimalweb.com 2.0.36
Target System ssh: SSH Version 1.2.27 [i686-unknown-linux], protocol
version 1.5.
First, I connect to my own system (proof of concept):
bash-2.04$ sftp localhost
Connecting to localhost...
michael@localhost's password:
sftp>
Now I go to my target system (ssh works fine):
bash-2.04$ sftp -oProtocol=1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Connecting to jastram.de...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
bash: sftp: command not found
Connection closed
And here the same, this time with debugging on:
bash-2.04$ sftp -oProtocol=1 -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Connecting to jastram.de...
debug1: SSH args "ssh -o Protocol=1 -l jastram -v jastram.de -s

Connection closed
My sftp is located at /usr/bin/sftp
It's getting stranger yet! I noticed that I can substitute -oProtocol=1
with -1. This doesn't work either, but I get a different error message:
bash-2.04$ /usr/bin/sftp -1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Connecting to jastram.de...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
bash: /usr/libexec/sftp-server: No such file or directory
Connection closed
My sftp-server is exactly located where indicated above. Switching
debugging on doesn't add any insight, except that the exit code is 126.
Any ideas...? Thanks!
