Mac dev folder missing, SSH not working
- by SamGoody
A few days ago, SSH stopped working.
When I try logging in a get the following message:
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
stdin: is not a tty
fatal: unrecognized command ''
Connection to 74.52.61.194 closed.
Web searches have shown me that there might be something wrong with /dev/std.
But my computer lacks a /dev/ drive.
There is an Alias to /dev/ [hidden, but I've revealed hidden files to do this search], but when I try to open it I am told that it cannot find the folder it is aliasing.
Now, many a web search tells me that without a dev folder, the computer doesn't work, but it does seem to work, except the SSH.
Also, are there any tools that can save my SSH preferences so that I don't have to, each time, type out the username@adrees, password, path all of which are long and complex?
Not looking for a Filezilla type client, there are many of those. Looking for a command line like putty, that lets me use bash on the remote client.
Am on Macbook Pro, latest version of Tiger.
