Hi Corinna... I just downloaded the OpenSSH2.5.2p2-3 and installed it. I still get user@host ~ $ sftp localhost Connecting to localhost... user@localhost's password: Request for subsystem 'sftp' failed on channel 0 Connection closed from my win2k box but it works fine on other win2k boxes (both working and non-working are win2k pro sp1). Thanks, ...Karl _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
