After upgrading, I can't connect to any of the SSH servers I use. It connects momentarily, then disconnects with no errors. Using public key authentication.

James,

What version of Windows are you using?
What version is your SSH server?

Can you try password authentication? Does that work?

Brian

I've since downgraded, but will re-install and try again and with password authentication. Windows 2000.

Servers are OpenSSH 3.5p1. (Hmmm.. time to upgrade)

So, it all works in version 2.13?

Are you using RSA or DSA authentication?

With or without passphrase?

Where is the key generated? On the server or on the client?

Right - had been happily using 2.13, just upgraded to 3.00 and didn't change a thing. I just upgraded again and tried password authentication -- that does actually work, the connections using key files do not work.

The keys are generated in various places, usually by OpenSSH though. Both with and without passphrase. Both RSA and DSA.

I don't think it's related to the specifics of the connection (since nothing works). There's no error - I've definitely had errors with unsupported key formats in the past under 2.13, but all this configuration info is unchanged from several different profiles that worked fine in 2.13.

There is no error ot all - it just says "Connected (SSH2)" then a second later disconnects without any error.

James,

I've got what I believe is a fix for this problem. Try it and let me know:

Yep, works fine now.

By the way while I'm here can I suggest something else? Get rid of the "BUY NOW!!" menu if the user's already registered... not a big deal but definitely an eyesore.
