tyme Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 ok, my school uses sftp for ftp access to their web server. regular try: [tyme@localhost tyme]$ sftp mth170@www.personal.psu.edu Connecting to www.personal.psu.edu... Protocol major versions differ: 2 vs. 1 Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer ok, obviously there's a version issue. well, let's try it with the -1 switch: [tyme@localhost tyme]$ sftp -1 mth170@www.personal.psu.edu Connecting to www.personal.psu.edu... mth170@www.personal.psu.edu's password: Permission denied, please try again. mth170@www.personal.psu.edu's password: Permission denied, please try again. mth170@www.personal.psu.edu's password: Permission denied. Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer now, i _very_ carefully enterred my password _every_ time yet it doesn't work at all. i would think this was a problem on their end accept i had this problem previously in 9.1, but sftp worked fine in gentoo and arch. so obviously it's something in 9.1....any ideas?

paul Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 my guess would be X forwarding .... MDK has X forwarding turned on by default, gentoo does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 can you ssh? surely if you can't sftp, then you can't ssh ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 same result from ssh :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 any chance it is locked out due to exceeding threshold of failed password attempts? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 kmack: it may be now, but when i first started doing this I know I was not locked out and I very carefully entered my password on the second try so has to avoid getting locked out. I've tried it from a different Linux distro with the same results (gentoo-where it used to work), so I've sent off an email to them about it...

kmack Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 My grad school acct is like that.. 3 strikes and you are out, and that's not good when you live 9 time zones away from the school. Takes f o r e v e r for the tech guy to respond to his email too! Hopefully it is something simple and a reset gets you back in quickly. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
