I was able to get to my target disk today and look into why ssh is not successfully logging into an ftp server. I checked that ssh was fully installed and was configured.
You suggested that I run ssh from a command line, that worked very nicely. I could not reproduce the problem using that method. Here are bits of the session: $ ssh -vvv [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/html OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4, OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 debug1: Checking debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to hartford-hwp.com [64.227.154.66] port 22. debug1: Connection established. ... debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 ... debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: filename /home/brownh/.ssh/known_hosts debug3: check_host_in_hostfile: match line 1 ... debug1: Host 'hartford-hwp.com' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/brownh/.ssh/known_hosts:1 ... debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password ... debug3: remaining preferred: ,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: Next authentication method: password [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: debug3: packet_send2: adding 64 (len 57 padlen 7 extra_pad 64) debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentication succeeded (password). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug3: ssh_session2_open: channel_new: 0 debug2: channel 0: send open debug1: Entering interactive session. debug2: callback start debug2: ssh_session2_setup: id 0 debug2: channel 0: request pty-req debug3: tty_make_modes: ospeed 38400 ... debug2: callback done debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072 Last login: Fri Feb 25 13:58:10 2005 from 69.37.40.212.adsl.snet.net So ssh is working, but I'm nevertheless having trouble with trap using ssh in emacs. When I do simple ftp, I've no problem. These give me access to the files on the server: C-x C-f /ftp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/html C-x C-f /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/html But both of the following commands fail (I have ssh set as default in ~/.emacs): C-x C-f /[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/html C-x C-f /ssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/html Both return: File not found and directory is write protected There is nothing in /var/log/auth.log of interest. My question: Does the ssh debug result suggest that there's no problem with ssh, and that I need instead to look at what tramp is doing when using ssh? When I use tramp under emacs to access the file server, the handshaking appears normal, but eventually fails with the above error message. Does it suggest that under ssh I'm simply trying to log in where I am not allowed? If I truncate the target and use simply: C-x C-f /[EMAIL PROTECTED] I get put into what appears to be the file server's root directory. This suggests to me that my syntax (....com:/html) is not putting me in the right place, although the syntax looks correct. Is this inference correct?
