@Doug,

This is from the WS_FTP.LOG in the archive you've uploaded. It appears it's an ecomstation-related build. I'll give it a shot anyway...

Hmmm correct. with Xrdp it could perhaps work for graphical ! Great idea!

The SSH issue remains complete though. If anyone knows a simpler way for a great SSH experience with OS/2, I'm open to about any suggestion

Applications / SSH - take the long way home
« on: December 26, 2022, 03:11:38 am »
When you can't really SSH to the main server
'coz the OS2 term type isn't recognized
You take the long way home -
  you take the long way home

When you've tried and tried with the qputty
And seems like it won't be working eventually
You take the long way home
  you take the long way home

----

(I could have went on but I realize my Supertramp "filk" isn't really good and I really appreciate that song so, in respect to the authors, I'll stop there.)

When I reinstalled ArcaOS, I thought about using it as a decent terminal. I would ssh to my linux box and do what I mostly do during the day - use vim. My cheap 10 years old T420 would be recycled as decent terminal with WP51 to type prose, mutt for IMAP-based emails (yeah, old fashioned)... and X-Windows through SSH when I need to run some app from my Linux box.

Well. Turns out SSH-as-a-Linux-terminal is mostly broken. VIM is soo outdated isn't not even funny. Can't get any X-Server thing to work (so far). SSH works from a non-resizeable window (...) and the list of annoyance goes on and on and on. Mutt probably doesn't work, I just haven't tried - I'm at the point of almost giving up.

(Maybe I should use Windows. Yes, I know, I know - I really shouldn't say that.)
But let's try anyway. From within OS/2!

In my PC virtualization shoutout, VirtualBox releases on netlabs are mostly not working for me. While I appreciate the phenomenal work from BWW, Valery and friends... It's a good beta. Many test cases are not working (they know and documented it) and it's instabilities might be related - who knows.

Surpringly enough, the last Virtual PC from Connectix was remarkably stable to run Windows XP i386. Should you wish to ever take this route, make sure you clone the repo "https://github.com/faultlinehc/tlsonxp" and use the shared folders functionality to bring the files into the virtual machine and install modern TLS support otherwise you'll find Internet Explorer pretty useless on the modern web. With good reasons. Yes, it was always useless. Until you need to download "just one file" and you can't.

But, with functional TLS support, you can download Putty for i386.
And it works.
It just _fuckin_ works.
So I can ssh to my Linux box, from VirtualPC running under ArcaOS. But I can't do it natively (or barely, the terminal is all screwed up) nor through winos2 (needs win32s 1.30) nor DOS (needs watttcp to be ported to TCP/IP for DOS so that vtcpdos.sys kicks in)

But i _FINALLY_ have a working SSH... but I can't use it for X11.

There must be more. Folks, what do _you_ use?

Ah, and that's why then.

And the original HOBLink can't be found anywhere now. You are lucky to have that copy with you! It's precious now!

Dave,

After I started Hoblink I've add the same result as you. Same dialog. Unless the binary is patched to skip the check, we can't use it under ArcaOS.

Unless there's a way to have it think it's running under Warp 4 or eCS

Glenn,

I walked through your footsteps and had stopped, with the same result you got.
But I've went back to this. And went a little further with a successful install - that pops the license violation dialog (close, but no cigar!)

So here's how to do it:

- Get eComstation 1.1
- Start the HobX11 install. Make it fail. Don't close it.
- From eComstation 1.1 Disk 1, copy \os2\dll\securit2.dll to where you've installed HobLink
- Go back to the installer - it works now.

When prompted for a license, I filled bogus data and it's likely why its failing.

I' ve been hunting this SDK for a while and I'm happy to report that I've managed to install the long-forgotten TCPDOS 2.1.2 + Base CSP + Prog CSP. Oh yes indeed.

Installing the Prog CSP required some tinkering with the provided batch file - as elaborated this thing is, it failed to install the Prog CSP when I tried it. And kept failing for sufficiently iterations that I got annoyed and debugged the damn file.

The recipe:

1. On the installation media of IBM OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Advanced from 1994, look for a TCPDOS folder. There's a BASE folder from where you can do a network install (faster than the tedious floppy image fun). Install the thing to a TCPDOS folder. Lo' and behol' - decomp.exe in under \bin.

2. Download the CSP files and install Base 1 and 2, then.... toy around with the prog csd. I _think_ the failing part was the few lines where it tries to create the folders. Somehow they were not created and decomp failed to extract.

I've attached the extracted files from the prog CSD and the precious decomp.exe for your pleasure.

I'm really looking forward to see if he (mTCP author) can make his sockets library talk to VDOSTCP through those libraries! I'll gladly assist!

I think the following would be required:

a) confirm it actually still works;
b) someone step up to maintain it.
