Server unexpectedly closed network connection. ( C# , win7 to VMS, with dh-group1-sha1)

Hi Martin, hi Winscp-Team,


in my report "***" mean "I remmoved a part of string".
I use "win7", "Open-VMS 8.3", "winscp v5.9", "VisualStudio 2015 Express"

So when I run the follow command in cmd.exe:

"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\winscp.com" /command "open sftp://cba***:haf***@5.175.***.*** -hostkey=""*"" -rawsettings KEX=""dh-group1-sha1,dh-group14-sha1,dh-gex-sha1,rsa,WARN"" " "pwd" "exit" /log="C:\Users\***\Desktop\winscp_bug\batch.log" /loglevel=2

then it is workd. OK :)
("dh-group1-sha1" must be used for VMS )
I attached thw log from batch-run too.(batch.log)

But when I run my "C#_code.cs" (it is attached)
I get this output with error :

dumpCommand: pwd
output :
ErrorOutput:
IsSuccess : False
ExitCode : 0
WinSCP.SessionRemoteException: Server unexpectedly closed network connection.
Authentication log (see session log for details):
Using username "cba***".
Authentication failed.
Server unexpectedly closed network connection.
Authentication log (see session log for details):
Using username "cba***".
Authentication failed.

The "session.DebugLogPath" and "session.SessionLogPath" are attached too. (c#_code.deblog, c#_code.log)

IP, loginname, password, winscp version are same.
When I mixd run the "batch" and "c#_code" i have the same error for "c#_code" and the batch is always error-free.

I read the forum and the documentation but i din'nt find explanation or i am not enought adept.
I hope you can help for me.
Thanks in advance!

ps.: sorry for my poor english

The ExecuteCommand method tries to open shell and execute the pwd command there, what will hardly work on VMS.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/remote_command

Read the Session.HomePath instead.
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_session#homepath

Thanks for the links!

I tried to write out the session.HomePath after session.Open:
log.wrln("home-path: >" + session.HomePath+"<");
home-path: >/disk$data_4/user/cba***<

it worked so the winscp can use the VMS.

I tried the command line too :
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\winscp.com" /command "open sftp://cba***:haf***@5.175.***.*** -hostkey=""*"" -rawsettings KEX=""dh-group1-sha1,dh-group14-sha1,dh-gex-sha1,rsa,WARN"" " "pwd" "exit"
and
"C:\Program Files\WinSCP\winscp.com" /command "open sftp://cba***:haf***@5.175.***.*** -hostkey=""*"" -rawsettings KEX=""dh-group1-sha1,dh-group14-sha1,dh-gex-sha1,rsa,WARN"" " "ls" "exit"
It worked too. I can see the ls's output.

I tried other command to run in C# :
dumpCommand = "ls";
but the error is same: "Server unexpectedly closed network connection."

Can you help me with other links?
Thanks in advance!

On VMS :
> show symbol pwd
PWD == "SHOW DEFAULT"

"symbol" is similar to "alias" on linux.

I mean you can hardly make the ExecuteCommand work on the VMS in general. Why do you want to call the ls command? Use the ListDirectory.
