can't establish connection - message

Post by ftping »

Using mini-sftp server 1.04 will often bring up the message
can't establish connection --> xxxxxx:22 @ date and time (122-1).
xxxxxx would be the name of the machine I'm trying to connect to.

This problem is intermittent. Even with all settings on both machines unchanged I might connect in the morning and then 2 hours later up pops the can't establish message and work comes to a halt.

This also occured in earlier versions of mini-sftp server.

Thanks for your reply.

There does not seem to be a pattern.
Tuesday connected with no problems 5 or 6 times within the space of about two hours before the issue surfaced. Left it for a few hours then later was able to connect again.
Wednesday – tried on three occasions in the space of 15 minutes and unable to connect.
Tried a fourth time 10 minutes later and connection was made.

Not sure if the following impacts on the issue, but the machine from which I run CoreFTP Pro uses Windows XP pro. Of the machines running mini-sftp-server, one has Windows 2000 sp4 and the other Windows XP home. I only connect to one at a time.

Cheers

The server is not entering standby or sleep mode.
Have been trying most of today and not able to connect.
However, no problem with coreFTP pro connecting to sites around the world.
Will keep experimenting and troubleshooting over the next few days and see if I can detect a pattern.

Thanks

Really appreciate your efforts.
Noticed you had a few problems on your side.

Yeah, it’s some weird behaviour.
Was connecting great between my own computers here last night and early this morning.
That’s with no changes to any setups.
Powered down all machines. Then 5 hours later powered up and could not get a connection to my server (which is ion another room). Will continue experiments and try a variety of ports also.

Cheers
