Title: 3.5.2 And Gftp
Post by: msjones on December 12, 2004, 08:45:53 pm

I have 3.5.2 poodle on a 5600. I have generated ssh keys on my zaurus with dropbearkeygen and can ssh into my Z from my linux desktop with the terminal and PuTTY. I am also able to sync with multisync and evolution, so it looks like things are set up ok.

However, when I try to connect using gftp I get the error "There was an error initializing a SSH connection with the remote server. The error message from the remote server follows:
sh: xauth: not found".

I was able to use gftp with sharp rom and 3.3.6pre1 without this error. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mark

sftp errors out if there is any sort of text output during login.
When you ssh manually into your Z, you'll notice the xauth error message.
It is printed on every login.

Remove the cause of this message and sftp should work fine.

I also installed openssh-sftp from the feed on my Zaurus. I'm not sure what else I need to install though.

Yes, it is there when I log in manually. What could cause that error, or text output,  though? Any reason why I didn't have this problem with 3.3.6pre1? Nothing changed on my desktop.
