Re: [Fab-user] First Fabric connected but got 'Permission denied' error

[Peter Bee]

Jeff, thanks for your reply. I think you are right that the remote (SSH server) system doesn

t have SSH set properly. I tried with putty (specifically 'pscp' command) and got the same result - it kept asking for password.

 

I am afraid that CopSSH is not the right one for my system (Win 2008 Server R2, 64-bit). I would like to get some inputs from the experienced users here on which SSH2 server should I try with on the remote system.

 

Did anybody here use SSH2 Spider 4.0? It said it's a freeware for Windows7 though.

 

Thanks,
Peter

I'm afraid I don't know! :( From the Fabric side, your fabfile looks
just fine to me. Do you have a non-Fabric SSH client you can try using
with the same target hostname, username and password? If so, does it
work there? (Point being that I'm assuming it's the server, not
Fabric, and that would be one way to try and test the theory.)
