connecting to SFTP

[jack.weatherford]

I have followed the steps outlined in the manual for setting up and using SFTP and restarted SSHD several times.
However it does not appear that the SFTP-SERVER.RC files, either in the /etc/ssh or $HOME/.ssh are being read.

none of the log files specified are being created when I connect via Putty.
In my debug log i see only
debug3: do_exec: subsystem 0

but on another system I see
subsystem request for sftp
debug1: subsystem: exec() /ifox/coz/bin/sftp-server.s
debug3: do_exec: subsystem 1

for the record the second system does not create the logs either. I do not have access to the second system via Putty but do on the system #1 and am trying to set it up to trouble shoot the errors on system #2

the question is how do I know which SUBSYTEM i am using (COZ or IBM)

Perhaps the names or permissions of your config files are not correct?
Post a listing of your /etc/ssh directory:

> cd /etc/ssh
> ls -al

actually it may be simpler than that.

one of the testers changed to WS-FTP PRO and it worked. (well he did get an abend after doing a transfer).

I used the same for my test system and it also worked.

Putty wasnt working correctly. must have been a config error.
