CopSSH not prompting for username?

Hello,
I installed copSSH without any problem. When I tried to connect using putty, I did not get a login and password prompt. I get an error msg. saying server unexpectedly closed network connection. Could someone please help me.

Thank You

Make sure that:

  • Service is running
  • Your login id is activated for copSSH
  • Port 22 is not blocked by a firewall

Got it working after restarting the service. How come whenever I rebooted the CopSSH server, making a connection I get the same error msg. "server unexpectedly closed network connection" UNLESS I restarted the service.
Thanks again

I'm having a similar problem. Everytime I reboot my copSSH server, I can't connect - I get the same error message. However, as soon as I restart the service manually, it works like a charm. Is there some way to get around this?

There may be firewall problems. Check also other differences between machines. If you use (-v) switch, you will get more detailed information about communication.

There must be some software blocking copssh access during the start. If you have a service representing this software, you can make copssh service dependent on that.

From services management snap-in (Admin Tools->Services), you can specify if a service will be dependent on other services (Dependencies tab).
