Re: ssh works from windows not from linux; protocol version difference?



I think it might be a little more complicated than what's below (?)

Probably ssh usage try connecting with

ssh -1 <hostname>

Debains default is v.2 protocol, if you try to connect to a v.1 server
you can t

first o fall which ssh should I install? ssh or Openssh? any practical difference? as oppoesed to ideological difference???

Next, indipendently of which package I install when I type ssh -v I am told that I am using ssh version 1.x with protocol 1.5 whereas the remote host is running ssh 3.0.1 (non-commercial) with protocol 2.0

So what is the story ?? I would have imagined protocol 2.0 would have been backward compatible... maybe increasing security meant decreasing retro-compatibility???

Anyway,
my problem remains, I cannot connect to the remote host from Linux...


Thanks a lot for all your help,

Gianguido


PS: all the hep I have been getting over the last few days... amazing, utopic almost :-)
