connection refused with winscp 3.2.1 worked under 2.2.0

I downloaded the newest Version and tried to connect to my server, the result was that it didn't work and I got a "connection refused" error. Then I tried with the old version and it worked fine. The settings are (as I have compared them) equal.

Same happens with every connection I tried, to several different servers.

Thanks for your report. I'll look at that. Can you try versions of WinSCP between 2.2 and 3.2.1 to find from which version the problem exists? You may download all versions from Sourceforge.
Also, please, try to connect with Putty.

Tried different Versions, with all Versions the same thing (down to Version 2.2.3)

With putty the same thing
0.52 works
newer versions don't work

any idea?

Found out what the problem was. I had the cisco vpn client installed and that seemed to make some problems, after removing it, it works perfectly.

Please report this to authors of Putty.
