Hi, all!
First of all, congratulations on the great work you've been doing on
pfSense! Here is my problem: I've enabled ssh on my pfSense 1.2.2
router and am able to run ssh sessions on it normally. However, when
it comes to using sftp and scp I receive the following errors after
typing the password in:
(sftp) Received message too long 170535466
(scp) protocol error: unexpected <newline>
By googling around I learnt one possible reason for such errors is
pfSense might be echoeing anything (e.g. a menu) when logged in, which
sftp/scp do not expect. So I tried wrapping the whole contents of
/etc/rc.initial like this:
if [ ${TERM} != "dumb" ]; then
<original /etc/rc.initial>
fi
(I send my new /etc/rc.initial in attachment). Sure, now I manually
set TERM=dumb and watch the ssh session close immediately after typing
the password in. Unfortunately, this has not changed either sftp or
scp's behaviour for better... Any ideas or pointer would be most
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Jorge.
