Hi, Since having upgraded to FC4, I am experiencing a strange problem with sftp -b <batch> "sftp -b <batch> user@somesite" refuses to connect: # sftp -b upload.ftp user@somesite Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer While "sftp user@somesite", i.e. interactively using sftp, works: # sftp user@somesite Connecting to somesite ... Password: ... ssh and scp access to the same site also works. Any ideas? Ralf
