UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am using the following for ssh:
F-Secure SSH 5.0.8 on powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0

I understand that you have to specify the Protocol version when using OpenSSh when, whereas for F-secure. the default is Version 2.

The /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config file do not contains any entries for protocol. But however, I have noticed the following:


## Authentication
# Publickey and password authentications are allowed by default

AllowedAuthentications password
# AllowedAuthentications publickey,keyboard-interactive
# AllowedAuthentications hostbased,publickey,password
AllowedPasswordAuthentications radius


The "# AllowedAuthentications publickey,keyboard-interactive " line should be uncommented to allow publickey authentications. Could that be the problem??


The problem is that I am suppose to implement sftp on a server on which I have no root authority and have to constantly revert back to the system administrator to do all the changes. On his part, he just claims that all has been properly set.

So you see, I have to be dammed sure about the issue and required actions before going back to him.

So any further assistance to trouble-shoot would be most welcome.

Regards

We were tlaking about different ssh versions. Which ssh client are you using?
Perhaps uncommenting the line

Code:

AllowedAuthentications publickey,keyboard-interactive

would work... But I'm not shure, let me think

Hello,

I am able to sftp to the remote server. The output of the following command are as follows:

sftp> ls -l

.:

---------- 1 user group 32752984 May 29 10:43 FILE1.out
---------- 1 user group 32761708 May 18 09:32 FILE2.out
sftp> mget *
open: FILE1.out (src): no such file (server msg: 'File not found')
open: FILE2.out (src): no such file (server msg: 'File not found')


Any idea why I am getting this message? The file transfet is simply failing every time.

Pls help

Thanks a lot

Look at the perms:
Login to the remote server and:

Code:

chmod 644 FILE1.out
