Need help with FTP to SFTP tunnel/bridge using MindTerm (2 posts)

    Our ISP requires that our FTP access be secure. We've been using MacSFTP (www.macssh.com), but some tweak at their end has made that client unusable. A technician at the ISP has recommended AppGate's "MindTerm", available at info-center.ccit.arizona.edu/~consult/mac-mindt.html#mindt-inst.

    I have followed its installation intructions, and its instructions for running Fetch through a tunnel set up by MindTerm, both on the mac-mindt.html page and on mac-fetch.html.

    However the connection is not working. MindTerm sees Fetch's request, and logs it as

    ** SSH2Channel : 'open confirmation, ch. #1, init-winsz = 0, max-pktsz = 32768'

    and Fetch reports "Error: the server dropped the connection (it may be too busy)." The transcript gives no more information:

    Connecting to 127.0.0.1 port 21 (4/24/03 12:45:19 PM)

    I would gladly accept:

    Suggestions for making Fetch work with MindTerm
    Suggestions for other SSH clients that Fetch can tunnel with

    Here are my details:

    Shortcut definition (as per MindTerm's instructions):
    Name= ftp tunnel

    (Other proxy fields are blank)
    Misc:

    No: all others
    Obscure Options: all unselected
    Security:
    Yes: Warn before cleartext password; Kerberos v5 tickets; dummy password; GSS channel bindings
    No: Warn before insecure password; Check protection level.

    I have not used the MindTerm SFTP gateway, but I can point you to instructions on using Fetch with MacSSH:

    http://www.bio.upenn.edu/computing/instructions/security/portforwarding/

    Let me know if that does not help.

    Thanks,
