sftp connection closed - no match

[Geoff Wild]

Installed
T1471AA A.03.50.000 HP-UX Secure Shell

sftp works fine to otehr Unix hosts....but fails to Windows with a "Connection closed"

Here it is with a -v

sftp -v myuser@ssh.somesite

Red flag for me is the "no match"

How do I fix this?

Thanks...Geoff

Seems like there might be an issue on the Windows NT SSH Server.

Perhaps the server is set up to only recognize clients after public key exchange.

I'm attaching a document on that subject.

Steven,

If I use putty and ssh from a windows machine - the connection works....it did prompt me to accept their key....

Placed a call with HP - here's the solution:

This issue can be checked easily enough, and p
ertains directly to connecting to Windows running sshd version 3.2.3.
Please check and see if you have the /etc/krb5.conf file. If not, please execut
e:
# touch /etc/krb5.conf
