Run char client over SSH on Cygwin fails with (156)

Posted by ke@iap.de on 23-Jun-2017 08:07

Cywin is running on a Windows machine to allow a unix like working style.

Wenn I connect with Putty and start a char client I get "Redirection or piping of stdin or stdout is allowed only with -b. (156)"

KB says: knowledgebase.progress.com/.../000046754

I tried different clients (Hyperterminal, SmartTTy). Hyperterminal is the trial version of HyperAccess, named in the KB entry as working.

I tried also local telnet server of Microsoft.

  • With Putty does not work
  • With windows telnet as Administrator it works

But we would like to have an SSH server, so I would kindly ask, if someone has a working combination of SSH server and SSH client for a windows host?

That error message makes me think that your client script is doing redirection… something like
 
_progres database.pf > logfile
 
Or something like that.  Check your client script to see exactly what’s being executed when you get to that stage.
 
Or start with just running _progres and expand from there.
 
Good luck.

try MobaXterm. I have switched to using that instead of putty when I must ssh from a Windows system.=

If I understand properly Klaus is trying to connect IN to the Windows box.

right. and MobaXterm will give you a server to connect with as well as the client. and lots of other useful stuff.
