sftp with OpenVMS V7.3-1 and UCX V5.4

[Burkart Beat]

I got the following error when using sftp provided with UCX V5.4 for OpenVMS

OBS6>sftp obs6
bbu@obs6's password:
Disconnected; protocol error (Protocol error: packet too long: -471121721.).

sftp>
Warning: child process (/sys$system/tcpip$ssh_ssh2) exited with code 27.

%TCPIP-E-SSH_FC_ERROR, undetermined error within sshfilecopy
OBS6>

In the Logfile I find the following error:

I've seen similar mesasges when sftp is not configured and I've tried to use it.

Thanks - but how can I do that?

As I understand it (and I've only played a bit) sftp is part of the ssh client stuff and therefore you have to configure the ssh client (in TCPIP$CONFIG, option 2, option 7) say enable and start. Then for my quick test I setup the server (enable,start) and a default key then was able to sftp.

Hi
I did exact that and this was the result. I have another very strange thing with sftp

All characters are doubled when typing in a command!!!

OBS4> sftp
sftp> hheellpp ooppeenn

Tries to connect to the host .
