Update openssl/openssh? (sftp problem)

[cbhacking]

I see that ssh6.1 is now available for 3.5/5.2, any chance of a native package for 6.x 64-bit?

Also, it would be good to get an update to the openssl library if possible. The current one does not support some of the newer cipher suites.

On a possibly related note, I have had problems with sftp simply dropping connections. I don't *think* it's the server, because Filezilla handles it just fine. The debug spew:

Code:

...
debug1: channel 0: new [client-session]
debug2: channel 0: send open
debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug2: callback start
debug2: client_session2_setup: id 0
debug2: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY
debug1: Sending subsystem: sftp
debug2: channel 0: request subsystem confirm 1
debug2: callback done

After that, it drops me back at bash. If I don't use the -v options, it drops be back to bash without any error message at all, simply failing out in the middle of the upload.

I'll look at openssh 6.1 for Interix 6.X 64-bit next and then openssl after that.
I know it sounds reversed, but this order makes it easier to determine where the problem is
if one appears during initial testing. Also, it takes a lot longer to do OpenSSL. A re-link
after is fairly easy then with an updated package.
I may be able to start this tomorrow, but I have a home inspector here tomorrow (yeah,
gotta sell the house) and that'll take a while.

[rodney]

Just to update.
Something with the build didn't go right (the daemon wasn't allowing connections).
scp on the Interix 3.5/5.2 release has me comparing the config.h files now.

No problem, and thanks for working on this and keeping us up to date!

[rodney]

Damn, turned out to be "operator error" on my part. The build was fine.
I have 6.X 32-bit available now.
Will be starting 6.X 64-bit next.

[rodney]

The 6.1.0.1 for Interix 6.X 64-bit is now available.
This is with the current openssh as expected -- this will be looked at next.

Thanks Rodney!

I was able to upload ~200MB without a hitch using SFTP on the new version, but since that's within the range where it used to fail (anywhere from 50 to 800 MB) I can't be sure if the problem is fixed. I'll let you know if the issue comes up again. If you see anything that would trigger this behavior, though, it would be good to have is fixed beforehand (my upload speed is under a 1Mbps here; the above log was generated on somebody else's connection under the hope that a faster connection would solve the problem.)
