Hello all,
I've taken over a project that's using SSH tunneling for connecting to a remote site and securing data traffic. For the tunnel, it is using PLINK from PuTTy.
Investigating the current state of the project I made a disturbing discovery. I could not connect to the host with my current PuTTy / PLINK installation. My current installation features Version 0.75 of PuTTy and PLINK.
After some investigation I found an older PLINK included in the project and tried that. With the older PLINK I could connect to the host without problems. I checked the version on the older PLINK and found it was Version 0.62.
I'll include an edited session transcription (of the erroneous session) at the end of the mail.
If it had been the other way around, I would just think that some problem was fixed and move along. Newer is better. At least that is often the case. But since the newer version was putting me into trouble I am wondering if I need to keep a copy of the older PLINK around to keep my project running or if there is a fix for the problem.
I'll be happy to provide further input, if necessary.
Regards,
Eleusius.

Sorry for the quick post.
I just realized there's an update of PUTTY and included tools to version 0.76 and it seems the problem is fixed.
At least I can confirm that the latest version works for me.
Thanks for reading.
