Hi all,

I have an AIX 4.3.3 with OpenSSH 3.4p1 installed. I set up an account
with restricted shell /usr/bin/Rsh and I can do terminal conection with
Putty to this account, however, when starting a psftp connection I can't
get into the system getting the message "unable to initialise SFTP:
could not connect". I have tried copying the file
"/usr/local/libexec/sftp-server" into the home directory of the user but
didn't work.

The shell is listed in /etc/shells as clear ftp ask for.

Any idea??

Thanks a lot in advance
