Re: sshd vs. lftp

I've noticed some odd behaviour with the current sshd and lftp; "everything" is current (OpenSSH 3.8p1-1, lftp 2.6.10-2) and "working" (ssh and sftp work fine, lftp to other sites works fine).

When I lftp to this box, tab completion doesn't work, and the "mirror" command downloads the specified directory, but none of its contents:

I tried to replicate but I didn't see the same problems. I'm using lftp fish://mark@localhost though since I don't have acces to another machine running cygwin.

Using lftp 2.6.12 under Mac OS X exhibits the same problems; works fine with the other sites I tested, but not the box running cygwin's sshd.

sshd is started from inetd, which is running as a service. CYGWIN is set to "ntea ntsec tty" for the service.

My home system is running cygwin's open ssh 3.7.1p2-2 and it appears to work properly with the current cygwin lftp and my Mac OS X build.

sshd is running through cygrunsrv. I'm not using inetd.

My "althor" box is at home and I won't be able to mess with the setup
there until Monday to do further testing. Sorry.
Maybe you could try "fishing" at localhost on your cygwin box (i.e. lftp
fish://you@localhost)

I wasn't able to find anything about this in the online docs, FAQ, or mailing list archives... any clues?
