sftp-server

[Bret Jordan]

I am still having problems getting this to run.  I just tried the full 
traditional install (setup.exe) and it still does not work.  Could someone 
please review the ACL settings that need to be in place.

Thanks

Bret

sftp-server

[Bret Jordan]

Situation:
I am still having problems getting sftp-server to work right.  I am running 
NT4.0 with sp6a. And I just performed (5 minutes ago) an Internet install 
of the latest cygwin.dll, bash, and openssh.  I have ssh.com's client 
version  2.3.

Problem:
When ever I try to use /home/jordan in my passwd file sftp dies.  If I try 
and use / it works, but I can not see any of the files/directories.  If I 
then try to change directory to /home/jordan it dies.  In fact if I try to 
change directories to anything it dies.  When using / as my home directory 
I can upload files and make directories (even though I can not see them in 
the sftp client window), they are there in the file system.

Passwd file:
jordan::1002:513:,S-1-5-21-2101946335-1589071585-740312968-1002:/home/jordan:/bin/sh

RE: sftp-server

[Bret Jordan]

I just performed a complete install of the new cygwin1.dll and openssh 
(using the actual setup.exe program).  I can get it to work with an ssh 
connection.  But every time I try to connect with an sftp client it just 
craps out.


Here is the contents of the debug info:

My /etc/passwd file looks like:
jordan::1002:513:,S-1-5-21-2101946335-1589071585-740312968-1002:/:/bin/sh

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I had experience that ssh.com scp doesn't work with OpenSSH sshd, while
OpenSSH scp did work.

scp has nothing to do with sftp. If you want to use scp you don't
need sftp-server but only ssh on the client side and ssh and a
running sshd on the server side.

The only application which can connect to sftp-server is a sftp client.

What's that? This is in no way related to the openssh
installation of Cygwin. The `Subsystem' line should be in
/etc/sshd_config and it is there by default:

#Uncomment if you want to enable sftp
#Subsystem      sftp    /usr/sbin/sftp-server
#MaxStartups 10:30:60

and /usr/sbin is the path to sftp-server. Why do you use a Windows
like path?

I have tested the connection from a Linux box using ssh.com 2.3.0
sftp client which worked.

sftp-server

[Bret Jordan]

Problem:
I can not access the sftp-server from ssh.com's gui client, the pscp 
(putty's client), or the scp client that comes with openssh.

Server = NT 4.0 Sp6a
Workstation = NT 4.0 Sp6a

Versions I am using:
cygwin-1_1_6-1_tar.gz
openssh-2_3_0p1-1_tar.gz


I have added the following line to my ssh config file:
Subsystem sftp c:/local/sbin/opensshd/sftp-server


In reading through all the mail list archives I have seen several points to 
file/directory security and owner ship problems.  I have trade to follow 
those and make all those changes but I can not get it to work.  Note: I can 
connect via ssh just fine.  I am just having problems getting the sftp to 
work.

Error screen dump when I try to connect via sftp.
subsystem request for sftp

I would be grateful for any help.

Bret
