\S{faq-iutf8}{Question} After I upgraded PuTTY to 0.68, I can no longer
|
||||||
|
connect to my embedded device or appliance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If your SSH server has started unexpectedly closing SSH connections
|
||||||
|
after you enter your password, and it worked before 0.68, you may have
|
||||||
|
a buggy server that objects to certain SSH protocol extensions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The SSH protocol recently gained a new \q{terminal mode}, \cw{IUTF8},
|
||||||
|
which PuTTY sends by default; see \k{config-ttymodes}. This is the
|
||||||
|
first new terminal mode since the SSH-2 protocol was defined. While
|
||||||
|
servers are supposed to ignore modes they don't know about, some buggy
|
||||||
|
servers will unceremoniously close the connection if they see anything
|
||||||
|
they don't recognise. SSH servers in embedded devices, network
|
||||||
|
appliances, and the like seem to disproportionately have this bug.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you think you have such a server, from 0.69 onwards you can disable
|
||||||
|
sending of the \cw{IUTF8} mode: on the SSH / TTY panel, select
|
||||||
|
\cw{IUTF8} on the list, select \q{Nothing}, and press \q{Set}. (It's
|
||||||
|
not possible to disable sending this mode in 0.68.)
