WinSCP with VanDyke's VShell SShd for Windows

2003-04-04 10:49

Hi,

at first: great tool!.

But: At connecting with VanDyke's VShell-Server (its a Widnows SSHd), WinSCP stops loginsequence with following errormessage:

"Can't detect command return code."

But PuTTY's "PSFTP.EXE" works fine. Any suggestions?

Are you sure that /bin/sh exists on your server?

Well, VShell is a Windows-SSHd. I found some config-suggestions in this board. They said: "/ssh/sh" for "Shell"-settings.

So, I am sure, "/bin/sh" or "/ssh/sh" doesnt exist. :)

I have no experiences with VShell, but for OpenSSH for Windows there "exists" /ssh/sh, although there is in fact no /ssh directory. It is virtually mapped to c:\program files\openssh\ssh. Please check this.

What happens if you don't enter /bin/sh on Shell tab?

As to the PSFTP: It does not use shell, so it can work even when WinSCP does not.

here the log without shell or with any unixlike path: (cancels with "Can't detect command return code.")
