Hello, I want to connect via sftp without success. On FAQ openssh.org I find some information about. 2.9 - sftp/scp fails at connection, but ssh is OK. sftp and/or scp may fail at connection time if you have shell initialization (.profile, .bashrc, .cshrc, etc) which produces output for non-interactive sessions. This output confuses the sftp/scp client. You can verify if your shell is doing this by executing: *ssh yourhost /usr/bin/true* If the above command produces any output, then you need to modify your shell initialization. I think that is a major problem witch should be solved generally for the images produced by yocto. So I ask here ;) regards Joerg
