Cannot get phpseclib to connect - error 10060

Question

I cannot get my local environment, Win7 running easyPHP 12, to connect to my server, ubuntu 11.04.

I connect to my server via sftp with filezilla fine, i can connect to my server via ssh with putty fine... the server requires no keys at the moment just a uname and pword...

I don't get it, the details i am passing via the php script are exactly the same as the ones i pass from filezilla and putty.

This is the code stripped to the bare basic:

//inlcude the phpseclib path in the include array and include the ssh2 class
set_include_path( WEBROOT_PRIVATE.'scripts/phpseclib0.3.0' );
if(!include('Net/SSH2.php')){
    echo 'Sorry failed to load SSH2 class';
    br();
}
if(!include('Net/SFTP.php')){
    echo 'Sorry failed to load SFTP class';
    br();
}
$connection = new Net_SFTP( 'xx.xx.xx.xx', 'xx' );
echo 'ss';
$login = $connection->login( 'username', 'password');
exit();

And this is the response i am getting:

Notice: Cannot connect to xx.xx.xx.xx. Error 10060. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. in ....\www_private\scripts\phpseclib0.3.0\Net\SSH2.php on line 776 ss

Answer 1

Most likely server requires keyboard-interactive auth, while component tries password auth.

The 'ss' is being output after the error - not before. Since the 'ss' is being echo'd before the login that means the error can't be with the login. Plus, phpseclib will try keyboard-interactive if password authentication fails. – Yanirayank

Answer 2

It's failing with fsockopen with the error that you're getting, which suggests to me it's not a phpseclib problem so much as a PHP one.

So the way SSH works is that the server sends a banner immediately to you when you try to connect. It does that for stackoverflow.com for example:

<?php
$fsock = fsockopen('www.stackoverflow.com', 22);
echo fgets($fsock, 1024);

When I run that script I get "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.3" back.

My guess would be that if you update that PHP script to work with your server you'll get the same error message phpseclib is giving you.

Firstly apologies for the delay. The error i get is not the same... Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to xx.xx.xx.xx:xx (No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. ) in D:\Files\mid_branch\www_private\application\tinyMvc.php on line 21 Warning: fgets() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in D:\Files\mid_branch\www_private\application\tinyMvc.php on line 22 – Cumulostratus

Yah - it sounds like it's a PHP problem. That said I'm wondering if this link doesn't apply to you: wordpress.org/support/topic/… – Yanirayank
