Connection Issues

Does SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client support connecting to an ssh1 server?

Yes. But please note that this is a terminal emulation compatibility feature - this means that File Transfer, command line SCP2 and multiple windows will not work when connecting to an ssh1 server.

When connecting to a host where I know I have an account, ssh2 says Disconnected; authentication error (No further authentication methods available.) (for ssh-2.0.13 server), or doesn't let me in, even when I type the correct password (for newer servers). What's wrong?

The server is probably trying to check that the host name you gave it has a DNS entry. Most dialup connections do not have a DNS entry.

In older ssh2 server versions, the default /etc/sshd2_config file had a statement RequireReverseMapping yes. This should be changed to RequireReverseMapping no. Ask your system administrator to change this. If you still have problems, consult your system administrator.

Does the SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client have support for host keys (to manage public keys of multiple hosts)?

Yes, SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client supports host keys. Select the Settings option from the Edit menu, and open the Host Keys page (under Global Settings). There you can set your host keys options.
