when I configure WS_FTP Pro on my pc (version 8.03 2003.12.16) I can connect using SSH:

Does anyone know how this happens and how to fix this?

Thanks,

Peter

Update: I tried WS FTP 9 and the error didn't occur! Since the company I work for just bought WS FTP Pro 8 less than a year ago, they're not going to upgrade to 9, so pls no messages saying "upgrade to 9" etc.

I need this to work with 8, can someone tell me what the difference is between 8 and 9 concerning my error. btw, I can login using passive FTP, I just cannot login using SSH on that other machine.

Thanks,

Peter

Peter,

Are you sure that the second computer is running 8.03?  I didn't see the version number in the second log.  The release notes for 8.02 mention a fix for SFTP v4.0 with the VanDyke server.  So, please verify that the second machine is running 8.02 or higher.  If it doesn't connect after that, you may want to try changing the SFTP version back to 3.0 by doing the following (also from the release notes):

Additions to the site INI file:

  Setting the SFTP version
  ------------------------------------
  This option allows the user to override the SFTP version
  used to connect with. The default for this value is
  version 4. This option will accept 3 and 4 as possible
  values.

  SFTPVersion=4

Hope this helps,

Ben

HI Ben,

Thanks for that, I thought I did upgrade to 8.03, seemed like I hadn't.

All's well now.
