Server identification string too long (more than 1024 bytes)

by Jasmine, Friday, March 10, 2017, 02:09 (2815 days ago) @ SFTP Issue

Hi.

This error usually happens when you connect using SFTP protocol to server that is not SFTP, and it starts sends invalid greeting back to the client. After some time (or, when he receives 1kb of strange data) client drops connection and returns this error.

Kind regards,
Jasmine.

Hi.

There's not much we can suggest to isolate the issue. It's possible server has changed somehow and doesn't provide regular SSH greeting anymore?

Jasmine.

The SFTP ocx is one of the finest pieces of programming I have seen. It worked out of the box...

Don't be fooled by the cost, it's value and quality far exceeds the price being charged!
