    tkofford - 2017-09-13

    I just installed the new version of poderosa (4.4.1), after using 4.3.16 for a while. However, this new version seems to have issues connecting to my remote servers via SSH. Most of the time I get a "Connection Error" dialog that says "Server doesn't respond.", but if I'm really lucky it will connect sometimes (about 1 out of 9 times).

    I still have the older version (4.3.16) installed and it connects every time w/out issue.

    Any suggestions? I did look in options to see if there was some type of timeout setting for connections, but I didn't see anything.

    Thanks in advance!

    Which version of SSHd is running on the server?
    Which type of the authentication are you using? (public key? password?)
    Which algorithm are you using for the public key? (e.g. RSA 2048 bit)

    Sorry for the delayed response.
    SSHd version = OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips
    authentication = password
    algorithm for public key is not applicable when using a password, right?

    "Server doesn't respond." will be shown after the server didn't respond in 5 seconds.
    In common cases, 5 seconds would be long enough for the password authentication,
    but it may be not enough in some cases.

    I'll add timeout settings in the next release.

    I just downloaded/installed version 4.4.2, and changed the timeout settings in the detailed prefs from 5 secs to 10 secs. Thats seems to have resolved my issue, ... thanks!
