A few days ago, SSH stopped working.
- Can someone help me get SSH to work (it used to)
- Help me understand the UNIX dev folder
- Are there any PUTTY like Mac clients.
When I try logging in with SSH I get the following message:
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
stdin: is not a tty
fatal: unrecognized command ''
Connection to 74.52.61.194 closed.
Web searches have shown me that there might be something wrong with /dev/std/ folder.
But I have revealed hidden folders and cannot find the /dev/ folder (There is an alias to dev, but Mac claims it is a broken link) ditto when I search for it with other tools such as Houdini. I could cd into it though, so am confused what is up with this folder.
Are there any tools that can save my SSH preferences so that I don't have to, each time, type out the username@adrees, password, path all of which are long and complex?
Not looking for a Filezilla type client, there are many of those. Looking for a command line like putty, that lets me use bash on the remote client.
Am on Macbook Pro, latest version of Tiger.
EDIT: Have tried to SSH with -v, here is the output, if it can help a knowledgeable super user?
