[13] WHY DOES SFTP / SCP STOP WORKING FOR ME?
|
|
|
|
To use SFTP or SCP you must first be an ARPA member. If you are
|
|
an ARPA member, then please continue reading.
|
|
|
|
What did you change? Both sftp and scp use 'sftp-server' via the
|
|
ssh session you establish. Any output from the /etc/motd and
|
|
your ENV setup files (.login, .profile .. et cetera) are read
|
|
into a buffer and not output to your SFTP / SCP client. Because
|
|
of this, the server may exit abruptly citing:
|
|
|
|
Received message too long 778199659
|
|
|
|
/etc/motd is always kept to just a few lines to accomodate users
|
|
who like to have 'fortune' or the output of other programs displayed
|
|
when they login. The result can be sporatic use of SFTP/SCP.
|
|
|
|
The best bet is to just not display a large amount of data when you
|
|
login (such as the process table, who is logged in or who has logged
|
|
in for the past 6 months).
