Hi, further to below I have now solved the problem by using Putty instead of the Hummingbird(humsh.exe) I was using. The only caveat to this is that our security department wants me to use the Hummingbird ssh because this is our corporate standard. Has anyone had to use Hummingbirds humsh.exe before and got it to work?
