Re: Cannot connect to IPSwitch WS_FTP server using WinSCP in

Martin,

I was able to solve the issue by deleting the SSH listener on the server and recreating it.

Thanks for your time.

Re: Cannot connect to IPSwitch WS_FTP server using WinSCP in

Please post a log file from WinSCP.

Cannot connect to IPSwitch WS_FTP server using WinSCP in SSH

I am unable to connect to an IPSwitch WS_FTP Server using WinSCP in SSH mode.

If I use WinSCP in standard FTP mode it connects without any problems. If I change it to use SSH then it connects to the server but times out complaining that the server is not responding.

I am able to connect to the SSH server using WS_FTP Professional 2007 and SmartFTP.

I have turned the logging in WS_FTP Server to be verbose but the only message I receive is "Connection established".

Any help would be gratefully received.
