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

Re: CopSSH not prompting for username?

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

Re: CopSSH not prompting for username?

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?

Check to make sure the Openssh SSHD service is configured for Automatic start versus Manual or Disabled... Logon as an administrator and go to Start | Run and run services.msc from the command window...

Re: CopSSH not prompting for username?

I have a similar issue but it only gives me error if I tried to logon using two specific client machines. I can logon from any other system fine. Any ideas?

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

Re: CopSSH not prompting for username?

Mine is already on automatic, but I'm having the same problems as the other users here.  Basically, although the service is shown as "automatic" and "started", it will not work unless you manually click on it, and press "restart".  This happens each time we reboot the computer.

Any advice?

Re: CopSSH not prompting for username?

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.

Hmm I wonder what that is or how to determine it.  Even if it was determined, how do we make the copSSH (represented by Openssh SSHD) "dependent on that"?

Re: CopSSH not prompting for username?

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

Re: CopSSH not prompting for username?

I guess now the only thing left is to figure out what is blocking it...any clue how to do that?
