It's IRIX 5.3 & seems to be left with minimal maintenance (it works). > SSH-1 does not have the concept of subsystems, > so while your version of ssh and scp can communicate with the ssh server > at the other end, you cannot 'pass to subsystem sftp'... > Assuming it is using a version of ssh that bundles with an sftp-server, > but NOT ssh-2, you need to 1. ssh into the server in question; > 2. track down the path to the sftp server binary: > in Gentoo with openssh it is /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server; There's no dir 'misc' in /usr/lib on the remote machine nor a 'ssh'. > 3.

In reply to Stroller, all I have in ~/.ssh is 'known_hosts', which does allow successful connection to the remote machine. That's just to respond to both your kind helps (big smiles). I checked the CHASS WWW site & it contained an Ssh access link; when I logged in, the system was IRIX64 6.5 & the hostname different. Armed with that knowledge, I tried again with the new hostname & succeeded with Sftp from CLI & from Krusader & with Fish from Krusader ! So something did change from Krusader 1.80.0 -> 2.0.0 -- perhaps no longer guessing a hostname if it's not found at once -- , but if I enter the (now known) correct hostname everything works as of old. Thanks again for your advice. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
