How do you enable it under an account?

Ask your server administrator.

As can be seen in the last line, something has happened which prevented me from connecting to the remote server.

You account does not have forwarding allowed.

How do you enable it under an account?

Thanks Martin!!

I will work with my System Administrator to have this enabled.

Please check the event log of PuTTY. Maybe you can find something that will help you.

Please read FAQ.

Hi All,

I connect to a solaris box (say box A) from my local machine using putty(ssh). From there I connect to the rest of the boxes (say box B and box C). But I am unable to connect to box B and box C directly from my local machine. Can someone let me know how do I do that in WinScp?

Thanks,
