Remoter Forums

Remoter crashes out every time I connect to a particular host. I connect to it regularly using the Windows version of PuTTY so it seems to be a Remoter-specific issue.

I found Remoter.log. The relevant lines seem to be:

Thank you so much for providing this information!
One other user reported the same crash. I will definitely get this fixes ASAP!

I'm creating a trac ticked for this right now.

THANKS again!,

Raf.

Edit: see ticket http://trac.rafsoftware.com/index.fcgi/ticket/78

The problem with SSH seems to be related the SSH UserAuth Banner. If your server/account is set up to display it, then the problem might happen.
I'll correct this for the next version. Again, thanks for your help!
