Hello,

I've used putty numerous times before, and have never had problems.

I recently updated OpenSSH on my iPod, to notice that it really wasn't an update, it was an older version from a source that wasn't Ste. So, I re-installed OpenSSH from Ste's source, and thought that was that. A few hours later, I tried to putty into my iPod. No luck. I open putty, punch in my iPod's IP, and it tells me 'Server unexpectedly closed the network conenction'.

I thought this might be my firewall or somthing, so to test it, I turned my iPod off, logged into Putty with the IP, and putty just sat there. No error message, yet no login/pass prompting, like it usually did. Then, leaving putty running, I booted my iPod. Lo, and behold, when my iPod reaches the springboard, the error message 'Server unexpectedly closed network connection' pops up.

Anything?

WinSCP does the exact same thing.

Update: Restore... restarting from scratch.
