I'm afraid that I do not know how to help you :-( I'm sorry.

Typically the clients just crash out, WinSCP with error 0 and putty with no error at all -

However the serverside logs show the following, I assume the firewall info bit is a 'red herring' -

Firewall : https://ftp:22/<ENCRYPTED URL>" proto=http-https (First message not hello or alert)

Target SSH : Jan 9 11:47:44 ftp sshd[26121]: [ID 702911 auth.info] connection from "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
Jan 9 11:47:44 ftp sshd[26728]: [ID 702911 auth.info] Local disconnected: Connection closed by remote host.
Jan 9 11:47:44 ftp sshd[26728]: [ID 702911 auth.info] connection lost: 'Connection closed by remote host.'

It appears that the connection goes out fine, where it is picked up by the SFTP server. The connection is then terminated suddenly, the only error I see on the target SFTP server is 'connection closed by remote host'.

What does WinSCP say? Can you try to connect with Putty SSH client?

And what does it do?

is there any free ip's for ssh proxy around that you know of?

I do not know.

In addition, I have noticedi n my logs for the target server, that the error I am recieving is the remote host closes the connection.

I am assuming the remote host to be my local workstation or the firewall itself.

Odd.

The Proxy settings tab does not seem to work for me either.

I am using Raptor firewalls and port 80 for proxy. I know I can proxy applications, AIM works well enough.

is there any free ip's for ssh proxy around that you know of?
thanks again
