    *** UEStudio 11.20.0.1006
    When connecting via SFTP, The login takes a long time(+25 secs) when attaching to any machine running: HP-UX, But connects(SFTP) almost immediately to any machine running: SunOS

    If I use the FileZilla client and connect via SFTP to either a HP-UX or SunOS machine, It connects and gives directory listing in about 2 secs( see log below ).

    Is there a way that I can get a very detailed log in UEStudio like in FileZilla( see below ) so I can try and determine why UEStudio it takes so long to connect to a HP-UX machine?

    Tia

      Have you enabled in UEStudio at Advanced - Configuration - FTP the setting Show FTP log in output window and have opened the output window during connecting?

      And have you selected a Server Type other than Auto in FTP Account Manager dialog for the account connecting to HP-UX server? Selecting the appropriate server type might be helpful.

        I'm sorry, I've experimented with this so much trying to figure out whats going on I left out those details in my post/question.

        Yes, I've enabled that option, but it doesn't show any of the handshaking/connection info, only the directory listing which is useless because that info is shown in the main FTP open or save window anyway!

        Yes I've tried most all the host types available but to no avail, I've currently got it set to "UNIX"


        Thanks again for any/all assistance.

          Confirmed this behavior. It lists the appropriate handshake info with FTP, but in SFTP, it skips it and only provides the directory listing as stated.

          This is definitely an issue as far as I can tell.

          Unable to confirm taking a long time for that type of server, as I don't log into an HP-UX. However, HP-UX is simply a UNIX server, so setting it to UNIX should alleviate that issue. I'm on a pretty slow dial-up, and I'm able to connect fairly quickly to the servers I connect to.

            I don't have any further ideas than contact IDM support by email and ask for help on this connection issue, or use Wireshark, a free network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. But searching for a network problem with Wireshark needs high knowledge about the protocols and is therefore most likely not the right approach on this issue.
