Hi

I have an error when I connect to sftp server running on windows xp from hpux 11.11

I google in the net but did not found base of this error !!!

ncbhpwks^root:/tmp > sftp majeed@10.150.2.58

Shalom,

Looks like there is no sftp server running on windows. That is not a standard feature.

Try installing one.

I tested with ssh terminal and its work fine

That's pretty obvious, actually.

Looks like a problem with the SFTP server,
but you might get some useful info if you add
"-v" to your "sftp" command. There may also
be a log file on the server, if you can find
it. Check the documentation for the
(unknown) SFTP server?

Same user and everything? As usual, showing
actual commands with actual output can be
more helpful than "works" or "doesn't work".

when I said "sftp server is working fine" , I meant that I have tested locally by :

C:\Documents and Settings\majeed>sftp majeed@localhost
Enter password for majeed@localhost:
//>dir
.
..
OB2DBG.tar.gz
gpresult.txt
//>mget gp*

Hi,
Have you try with the verbose/debug mode sftp -vvv.
Another idea, have you try to simplify the majeed passwd, maybe is a caracter does not understood
