Hi,
I'm experiencing a wider problem with sftp'ing to/from a Cygwin sshd
service. However as a starting point into debugging, I've identified a
simple failure in the sftp-server that may give an indication into the
wider problem.
When I ran just a simple usage argument to sftp-server in a mintty
session, the command failed:
sbaddah@*********** ~
$ /usr/sbin/sftp-server -h; x=$?; echo $x
127
This works fine for me from mintty. Just a shot in the dark but can
you try it with a local user? How about a local user that's part of
the local Administrators group?
Yes, this has made a difference. Thank you. I ran against a local
user, although they were not a local administrator. It ran fine:
portapps@*********** ~
$ /usr/sbin/sftp-server -h
usage: sftp-server [-ehR] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] [-u umask]
I guess that points towards a pseudo terminal handling glitch for a
domain user, right?
Not definitely, no. I just tried with my work account (which is a domain
account) and found no problem. Although I can't compare directly with the
your IDs, I have root(0) and Administrators(544) on mine. Maybe try adding
these if you don't have them already.
