What is the trick to get freeSSHd to accept scp connections?

I am able to ssh to the system without problems....but when I try to scp I get an error:

509:blade:~> scp /tmp/foo administrator@objy070:/temp
administrator@objy070's password:
lost connection

Maybe my syntax is not correct? How do I specify a drive letter?

Thanks,
Blade.

P.S. The log does not show any errors:

...
...
06-15-2005 17:54:35 HOST blade.objy.com SSH connection attempt.
06-15-2005 17:54:38 LOGON SSH PASS
06-15-2005 17:54:38 HOST blade.objy.com SSH administrator successfully logged on
.
06-15-2005 17:54:38 HOST blade.objy.com SSH administrator disconnected.
...
...
...

I'm having the same issue, any idea how to 'enable' the scp feature in freeSSHd?

I'm using scp.exe from OpenSSH. But i have the same problem BUT! ssh.exe connect to this server without any problems. May be this problem caused by difference between OpenSSH and freeSSHd?

[bump]
I'm having the same issue. Attempting scp connection from OpenSSH 3.8 to freeSSHd 1.0.6.

I've been able to scp successfully, with cmd.exe set as the shell, however it seems to disregard destination directory settings. No matter what value one puts as the destination folder, the files end up in the user's home directory. Here's an example. Here I'm trying to upload a file to the "Desktop" folder. I've also tried "/../" and "/" and "/cygdrive/c/"

[username@host1 username]$ scp test username@host2:/Desktop/
username@host2's password:
test 100% 36 142.9KB/s 00:00
[username@host1 username]$ ssh -l username host2
username@host2's password:

I find the probem!

Change the SFTP server settings under the FreeSSHd GUI. Put away the $HOME in the 'Home Path'. A 'password stored as SHA1 hash' user do not have a $HOME.
Maybe someone of freeSSHd can fix this, because it takes you a long time, because the logging do not give a lot information.

I discovered, that '-p' switch with scp does not work when trying
to transfer files from Linux to FreeSSHd (running as service on Win 2000 with latest ServicePacks). I used to always use -p switch with scp, because it preserves source file timestamp at destination node.

Code:

---

linuser@linrig:~ scp -v -p -o 'Protocol 2' somefile vschip@w2krig:
Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host w2krig, user vschip, command scp -v -p -t .
Sending file modes: C0700 4379 somefile

---

... and then it locks up in endless loop. One must hit Ctrl-C to send signal 2. At the destination rig, a file with zero size will be created, but its name is not the same as the source file name. In my case the created file got name '1187358810 0' (yes, with space inside) and it never has been transfered (it has 0 bytes forever).

Once I removed the -p option, it works well:

Code:

---

linuser@linrig:~ scp -v -o 'Protocol 2' somefile vschip@w2krig:
Executing: program /usr/bin/ssh host w2krig, user vschip, command scp -v -t .
Sending file modes: C0700 4379 somefile
somefile 100% |**************************************| 4379 00:00
linuser@linrig:~

It looks like a parsing problem. freeSSHd parses out '1187358810' as a filename, but it looks more like a standard UNIX time.

We'll check it out and fix it ASAP.

Thanks for reporting.
