Subject: PuTTY <-> SSH 1.2 how?
From: "Anthony E. Greene" <agreene@pobox.com>

I'm running sshd 1.2 on a RedHat 5.1 box and I've been unable to login via
telnet using PuTTY 0.48. I've set "PasswordAuthentication yes" and "Cipher
3des" in /etc/ssh/ssh_config. when I attempt to login, sshd logs this to
/var/log/messages: "Password authentication disabled."

I can use RSA authentication from a Linux box, but I need to get this
working from Win95. Anyone have a clue?

Shouldn't you be editing  sshd_config to control server behavior.  I though
ssh_config only controlled local client beahvior.  Furthermore, you must
restart sshd after you change the config file for the settings to take effect.

Go to www.ssh.com and get their Windows client. It's got
ssh file transfers built-in.
