Re: Connection refused when using localhost ssh tunnel

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile.

Re: Connection refused when using localhost ssh tunnel

Well now I think the problem is in conflict IPv4 vs. IPv6.
If I use "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost", winscp is connected properly.

Is there some commandline option (winscp.com script option) for addressfamily settings?

Connection refused when using localhost ssh tunnel

I have simple ssh tunnel on localhost. When I try to connect to my ssh server via this tunnel, winscp (.com | .exe) ends with "Connection refused". Direct connection works well, older version of WinSCP (4.0.3.345) works too.
I am running on Windows 7 SP1.

Direct connection to ssh server [works]: 
c:\winscp.com

winscp> open user1:pass1word@myserver1

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
