getting ssh1 support



Sorry, I am a bit lost here.

From what I can tell, there is a vulnerability with SSH1. It is not advised.

The problem I have is that I need certian applications that use sftp such as dreamweaver do not support ssh2. And thus far I have been relying on ftp which I would think is 'less secure' than a vulnerability with SSH1. Am I wrong? I have been trying to wait the stink eye contest out with macromedia but as far as I can tell..... This is never going to happen on their end.

So I try to generate a key

ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key

then edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Protocol 2,1

try to restart ssh and I get;
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshdDisabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key

Can somebody point me in the right direction? Also, would the SSH1 vulnerability be cut down if I only allow 1 non-root user SSH access via AllowedUsers?

Thanks,
-Mike
