Even though it's a common 'best practice' to disable default banners, this can cause problems with some SSH ftp clients. It appears that the banner provides some important version and/or protocol information. For some clients, without this data being provided in the banner, they may not be able to complete authentication.</P><P>Just hoping to save you some time if you have the same problem.Wed, 07 May 2008 21:19:10 GMTjohnniewalker
