Just a guess...might be a wild goose chase... for the user account you are trying to sftp to, could you save your bash startup files on the server machine and set up the default bash startup files? My memory is vague, or it might be my imagination, but I seem to remember having a problem, a very long time ago, about having things in my bash startup files that were interfering with my ability to do things through ssh. Whatever problem I had may no longer be a problem. I finally fixed my problem by stopping my .bashrc file from doing certain things if not interactive. I came to the conclusion my problem had something to do with things in my .bashrc file intercepting input from the standard input and creating unexpected output on standard output. I still try to separate my bash startup files into stuff I always want to do and stuff I only want to do when interactive. I still put the following line in an appropriate place in my .bashrc file to stop doing certain things when I am not interactive: # check for shell is not interactive [ -z "${PS1}" ] && return It's just a guess...but it would be quick and easy to test. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
