Hi,

Which version of protocol SFTP are you using ?

Since a long time, MySecureShell has a bug with SFTP v4... but SFTP v3 or v5 works perfectly.
Maybe it's your problem ? smile

Re: Problems to SFTP MySecureShell using sshtools's SftpClient Java API

SFTP protocol version is 3

I have also tried by adding the following entry in sftp_config to enable SSH as well.

<User test1>
Shell /bin/bash
</User>

I get the "Shell is Disabled!" in response if i do not add the above entry in config.

Please let me know if I need to check some more configuration to debug this issue.

Thanks,
Deepak
