Hi, I work on openssh-2.9p2 installed on LynxOS i386 system. sshd, ssh, scp and sftp-server all work fine. The problem is sftp client, in interactive mode, exits after authentication printing the sftp prompt. sftp client works fine in non-interactive mode. i.e., lynxos>sftp hari at linuxsystem:test works fine But, lynxos>sftp hari at linuxsystem ... sftp> lynxos> Any help, as to why sftp exits in interactive mode. -Hari.
