@Guest: What problem do you get with SCP?
Guest

I am also trying to do that with my iPod touch
On SFTP as well.
It will come up with some shell thing that its not supported, then that error 127 when I press ok.
martin

@skylinemate: Can you give us more details?
skylinemate@...

I have the exact same problem.
My terminal doesn't work, and that error comes up.
Is there anyway to fix it? I have tried reinstalling WinSCP as well.

Thanks a lot.
Guest

Hey guys,
I have the same problem. however for me the bin/bash/ does not work.
Do you have any other ideas how I could make the terminal working?
Thanks, Rog

Great !
I have the same problem and after a quick launch with Google, I found this thread.
Thank you for your help @martin :)
martin

OK would it help if you specify /bin/bash on SCP/Shell tab of Login dialog?
thomas

Yeah i can log in with PuTTY, but I'd rather use the the terminal provided in WinSCP.
martin

The SSH server is probably not able to start a shell. Are you able to login with some SSH terminal (like PuTTY)?
thomas

Yes I am able to log into WinSCP but, when i try to go to Commands > Open Terminal like you said, I get that error.

Re: Terminal in SCP doesnt work for me

Sorry, I'm not sure what does not work. So are you able to login with WinSCP (maybe using SFTP)? Do I understand right that you get an error after going to Commands > Open Terminal?
thomas

Terminal in SCP doesnt work for me

So this is my dilema, I'm currently trying to hack my iPod touch using WinSCP, to transfer files. The first couple of times worked, now for some reason I get this error whenever i try to open the terminal
Connection has been unexpectedly closed.Server sent command exit status 127."Error skipping startup message. Your shell is probably incompatible with the application (BASH is recommended).
So can anyone help me? I kinda suck at this stuff so no complicated terms :P, this has never happened before for me and I think it's more the program then the iPod, so can anyone help? :?
