RE: Cygwin SFTP Windows SBS 2003

Not knowing the details of the source of the problem, I would recommend
that you check permissions first.  The permissions of the
homedirectories, and the execute permissions on the sftp-subsystem
executable.  The way the sftp process works, SSH authenticates the user,
and starts a user session on the system based on the authenticated
user's credentials, then under those credentials, it then executes the
SFTP subsystem host.  So this means that the SFTP subsystem must to
executable by everyone, or at least the group of users that will be
using SFTP.

Subject: Cygwin SFTP Windows SBS 2003



Hi -

I don't know if this question has been asked before, but here goes:

I set up cygwin with SSH on my Windows SBS 2003 STD server.  I have
everything working nicely for my admin accounts.  I can have a regular
domain account logon to the ssh shell, however, I get the following
error when I try to SFTP:

Connection has been unexpectedly closed. Server sent command exit status
128

If I make that user an admin, they can sftp.  I have also set some ntfs
deny permissions for that user as I am trying to lock them into their
home directory.  

Can anyone help me with this error?

Eliot
