sftp works OK in the other direction, from sony06 to dell03.

cdr@dell03 ~/cygarc
$ sftp sony06
Connecting to sony06...
Received message too long 1920298606

Fanfare!!!
You are successfully logged in to this server!!!

When you connect via ssh, you get a login shell. When you connect via sftp, you get a non-login shell, which communicates with the sftp command via standard output. Make sure your non-login shell doesn't print anything (say, from .bashrc).

Yes, echo from .bashrc was the problem.

FWIW, 1920298606 in hex is 72756E6E (which also spells "runn"). Coincidence? ;-)

No.


Thanks.
