| Hi Folks, I am having issues with ssh sessions timing out/freezeing/disconnecting after inactivity on 5.0.6 with openssh 3.5, the google community mentions to add to sshd_config the following directive, but my feeling is that openssh 3.5 probably does not support it. ClientAliveInterval 60 My question being, does a more recent version of openssh exist for 5.0.6., my skills at compiling and whatnot are very limitted. Thank You Joe |

Thinking that my initial client (WinSCP) was buggy, I went and tried 3 other SFTP clients, they all do not list long filenames (path included as when I move the file downpath, they end up showing depending on as yet undetermined magic path/filename length). After having tried a few clients and played around with different filename lengths, I am sure the problem doesn't reside on the client side as they all get the same results. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree as my experience with SSH/SSL/SFTP and whatnot is limitted. One thing for sure, depending on where the file resides in the path and how long the filename is, determines if it shows up on an SFTP list. This was observed connected as root Thanks Joe |

Actually that may be a /bin/ sh limitation rather than a kernel limitation. You can't change root's shell on OpenServer without breaking things (and you shouldn't be using the root account for SCP anyway). Set up another user with a different shell (perhaps /bin/ksh or /bin/bash) and try it. No guarantees, though. R Robert |

I will consider trying your suggestions for what it's worth. Thanks Joe |
