Editing files over SSH
Submitted by BarneyN on Friday, 31 March, 2006 - 07:29
Hi,

I need to edit files over an SSH connection.

I have tried to use the FTP plugin with "Open from Secure FTP Server", but it fails with an "Authentication has not been completed" message.

The thing is, I am quite sure that the remote server runs an scp server, but not an sFTP server.
Is this causing my problems, or is it something similar to what is described here?
http://community.jedit.org/?q=node/view/1616

I am not in control of the remote server, so I cannot change any settings there (or ask for them to be changed).

Please advice,
Barney

SSH server side

Odds are the other side is including the sftp-server subsystem in their openssh. Every time I've seen this issue it's been fixed by the tweak in the link you found. It seems like this issue is caused by the SSH/sftp server sending some extra control characters back to jEdit that chokes it. I was able to tail -f some logs on my server when having this issue and could see successful auth. but session wouldn't establish. There was this other SFTP app I used in Windows what would ding and display an empty message box twice. But fixing the server side as describe got rid of the sftp issues for jEdit and the other sftp app. HTH
