Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello Guys,

I am SFTPing from Solaris to Windows and accessing a softlink pointing to another server path (\\server\path).

The same was working properly but I have made this connection passwordless and after that it show below error while accessing solftlink,

couldn't canonicalise: Permission denied

I have checked on with another windows machine with the same user on WinSCP, and I am able to access the same.

Please help

Thanks spacebar.. but my problem is bit different tha this.

I am able to access the softlink (shortcut) from another remote windows machine, but it shows permission denied from Solaris.
Even when I check permission on that softlink from Solaris, it shows 777

Please help

Ok, Check out this info: HP Communities - sftp error - Couldn't canonicalise: Permission den... - Enterprise Business Community

Hi Spacebar,

Have tried the permissions as explained in the link, but still no luck.

For more info, I am using copSSH on windows to enable ssh/sftp. And I have activated a domain user on it.

Hello Guys,

I have got the solution on this. Once I have removed password-less connection, i.e. when I removed rsa key from remote server's authorized keys file, it started working.

Can anyone please let me know if password-less connection is there and I have created a softlink, why it is not working ?

You can change the ssh servers to do the most detail logging and the clients also so that you can see what is happening during the handshaking/connection.

Can you please let me know where should I change and see logs in COPSSH ?

I have tried the same with "with" password connection and it can access it all. There is a problem only when I am doing password-less connection
