bug & solution occuring between sFTP and BASH (.bashrc)

[zaffi]

I had a "timeout" error while trying to connect to my ssh shell counts on my linux server.

The error was received immediately, so it was NOT about timeout.

After few days of testing, I got a better error message from another program. The error told me that there is an issue with the bash profile.

(i'm sorry but i didn't write down the exact errors).

With this hint, I edited the

Code: Select all

.bashrc

file in all affected accounts, and removed all "echo " commands.

apparently
if bashrc prints anything, then the ssh negotiation process crashes.
This is a bug in SSH / BASH, and NOT of total commander.

However (!!!)
total command could be more clear with the error messages.
During the days of debugging, I couldn't see anything in TC msgbox or in TC connection listbox at the top that tells me what was the problem.


how to recreate:
linux CentOS 5.5
Total commander 8 b3 32bit
sftp plugin (where can i find sftp plugin version?)
add a .bashrc in your home directory,
edit .bashrc and add several "echo bla bla bla" commands.

ssh works fine,
but sftp fails immediately with an error message.
