PuTTY and OpenVMS

I have OpenVMS 7.3-2 with TCPIP 5.4 ECO 4 on Alpha
I have PuTTY on my PC (Win XP Pro SP2)
The problem : when I use SCP from my PC, the transfert is OK, but I task never finish, I have not the Prompt unless I type CTRL C.

Idea ? Problem on PC? on VMS ?
In verbose mode on PC the last line is
"Sent EOF Message"

Re: PuTTY and OpenVMS

Hello Holvoet.

Let me start with

"Welcome to the VMS forum!"

I can not confirm your experience on WXP,
but using PuTTY from W2000 to access Alpha VMS 7.3-2 with TCPIP 5.4 ECO 2 presents no problem whatsoever.

I hardly suspect ECO 4 to have introduced this kind of trouble, and it _IS_ well known that SP2 for WXP has brought many extra 'security' features, which _ARE_ known to have broken quite a few applications.

-- do you have any facility to test PuTTY from any other PC, running maybe WXP without SP2, or whatever, to confirm the correct workings of the VMS side? I do not expect ECO4 to be the issue, but it is just good to have it confirmed.

-- as far as I know, most extra security features in SP2 are adjustable. That would mean that you will have to know where to look and how to adjust.


There is also a forum for Microsoft stuff, with a XP category.
For info on XP settings I think you can better cross-post there.

If you get it solved, will you post the answer (or the pointer to it) here as well, please?

Sante.

Have one on me.

Re: PuTTY and OpenVMS

There still are some issues ...
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=772977

Could it be that the VMS side aborted while the PC site was expecting an answer ? Check the VMS log files and accounting. After a long time there could be a (keepalive)timeout message.

Re: PuTTY and OpenVMS

Precision on my problem : I have tested on Windows 2000 SP4, same problem, more difficult to test TCPIP 5.4 ECO2

Bonjour Denis :-)

You should take a trace and analyze it with ethereal (www.ethereal.com)

Re: PuTTY and OpenVMS

I see the same with Win XP (no service patches but current patches) and TCPIP V5.4 no ECO.

I can transfer files with psftp; as long as they are in Stream_LF format :-(

psftp is supplied with putty

Re: PuTTY and OpenVMS

It was a VMS problem, HP send me new exe files for SSH and it works.Then will be in the next ECO (I hope so)
Enjoy.

Re: PuTTY and OpenVMS

if you can't wait then log a call with hp and ask for the fixed files. I hope they come out as an ECO kit soon.
