Re: Putty connection refused, even if WinSCP3 works ?

Hello,

I cannot find anyone with my problem on the newsgroups consulted:
FACTs:
1-I used to work with putty (for a vnc connection to an office) and
winscp to browse
the network.
2-Both used to work fine.
3-Now, WinSCP still work when I provide the correct IP
4-Putty does not work anymore.

Are you using the correct IP for putty? Are you connecting on the
right port where ssh is listening? Do you have any firewall software
perhaps not allowing putty out? Are you using the latest release of
putty (unlikely related to the problem, but for security's sake, a
good idea)?

If putty is reporting connection refused, something on the network
layer isn't happy.

If you want another gui ssh client to try (but warning, you might get
hooked), download the trial of SecureCRT from
http://vandyke.com/download/securecrt/index.html

Or if you'd like a free commandline one, download cygwin.com and
select openssh from the network (I believe) section of the cygwin
installer.
http://cygwin.com/setup.exe

Then open the cygwin shell and
$ ssh -v IP.of.target

The -v option is for "verbose" and gives you debugging information you
can post here.
