Putty

Hi all.

Putty just stop working with my server.
“Fatal: expected key exchange group packet from server”

I suspect a too old version, incompatible with the current version of OpenSSH.
Does someone have a recent build of PuttyTools?

Nota: OpenSSH form riscos.info simply not working for sftp, for another reason.

The problem for a new port is the lack of autoconf under RISC OS.
Would need some help from a Linux computer owner.

Or the help of Ronald May, who did have a newer version of PuttyTools.
But his homepage is gone.

I’ve been using a port of Putty tools 0.67 for a while. Seems to work OK. I can make it available for download if you want to try it.

I used my ports and Confix frontend to connect to OpenWRT recently, but I am still using Iyonix, Can the new GCCSDK stuff include speedups for newer processors? I guess it makes the ports specific if that is the case. Either way my frontend should still work with newer binaries. The Confix Tabbed interface is not RISC OS style guide compliant I gather, maybe something like a Windows interface I guess. It allows you to recall several connections, set up keys or password etc.
I still don’ t have a homepage, so would have to email you, David.

Yep, good idea. We’ll try.

For the homepage, I can provide you a subdomain of RISC OS FR (it’s free, of course). But please note that – for now – psftp will not work with the version of OpenSSH server used on CentOS :)

Ideally the ports should be set up in the autobuilder.
There are a few patches to update, but the important part is for it to build with the latest ssl libraries either via the autobuilder or in a manual build. Should find what I did OK,but it wasn,t too much different to the original work (by Theo ISTR)
I think the original also included a desklib gui port but it had readability problems. PSFTP is functional in a taskwindow anyway.
I think the plain OpenSSH SFTP ports OK also, but likewise will need the latest SSL library.

Not only.

Putty was in the autobuilder, but not anymore.
OpenSSH is in the autobuilder, but it’s a version too old, with a sftp command that does not work with modern servers.

First step, to get a Putty port modern enough to connect to a CentOS server.

Ron saved us with a new version of psftp.
SiteMatch now works again on our server.

I’ll post the binary later on RISC OS FR.
Thanks!

I would like to use a sftp client for RISC OS. I understand that Chris has one, I would love to use that. My provider where I host a new website asks to use SFTP to upload the site. May I ask if I can have that sftp tool working under RISC OS? I tried Filezilla under linux, but I don’t like that very much at all. I prefer using RISC OS tools. Even so when that is a command line tool I still like that better than FileZilla under linux.

You can download it from here.

I use it with sitematch and it is working very well.
Thanks a lot.
