I'm not sure what has happened as I used to be able to use Putty to SSH into my ATV2 with no problem. Now when I try, the putty window just closes instantly. If I enter the incorrect password it says so and prompts for the password again but if I then enter it correctly the window simply closes.
I have also tried WinSCP and this connects and logs in fine. In WinSCP I can open a command window but with it you don't actually type the command into the main window and it also has some silly timer so it drops the connection after what it thinks is idle time.
So from that it would seem that the SSH server side of things should be OK. So why doesn't putty work? I've tried from 2 different computers with the same result. I've tried clearing the keys too. The next time I try to login it prompts me about the key and then the same instant window close when I login.
Any ideas?
