ls command results in session hang for sftp.

Hi,
When I am doing "sftp" on my server and executing "ls" command, it results in session hang.
In normal "ssh" session also sometimes it get hang.

I have checked the file/directory rights, its ok.
I also have checked the sftp user rights also, its ok.

FYI : My server is using Linux.

Shalom,

Post the ls commands without sftp involved.

There could be soft link to something forbidden, or a soft link to nfs.

Lots of things can go wrong.

Re: ls command results in session hang for sftp.

can you let us know if only ssh is hanging, what about telnet, rsh.

does it hangs forever for come out after some time.

Plesse send ls -lrt and mark where is hung.

Re: ls command results in session hang for sftp.

HI Kapil,

Telnet is not allowed on my server, we are using only ssh.

Session gets hang forever.

following is the output of ls -lrt from my server's ssh session.
============================================
GWKPER001:>
GWKPER001:> ls -lrt
total 7376
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root uucp 1697 Nov 11 05:10 IVR1400.cfg
===========================================

Thanks & Regards,

Prakash.

Re: ls command results in session hang for sftp.

I'm confused...are you using ssh/sftp TO connect to Linux (as you mentioned you're "server" is Linux).

If so, the problem is (most likely) on that end of the connection.


If you're connecting FROM Linux to HP, I've seen similar issues with older versions of sshd running on 11.0 (but you didn't mention the OS release either).

In the cases I mentioned above, there were also issues with Expect hanging when the session was done. The same "expect" scripts ran fine with telnet or remsh.

A little clarification if you please?

Re: ls command results in session hang for sftp.

Dear Friends,

Many thanks to steven,kapil, old school.. for their reply and to all those who were thinking over my problems.

My Problem has been solved and sharing the solution with you.
==========================================
Problem has been identified at Router end. There is a problem of transfering packet larger than 1468 byte over the link between the router connected to my Server and core router.

Thanks once again

Prakash.
