Hi,

I’ve updated from Build 2442 to 2508 today.  
Now “SSH Open Connection” fails with an invalid address error. Rolling back to 2442 works again.

This opens a connection to a mac mini using a host name (no ip address).

Regards  
Martin

I suspect this is a bug in the client library, which we updated recently. I just checked and there is another update with a fix for a dns resolution issue, which sounds like what you are seeing, I’ll pull that in today and see how it goes.

Hi Martin

Please try this build, it includes the latest ssh client library update. I was able to connect to a local ssh server using the host name

Hi Vincent,  
thanks for the quick fix. It’s working again.
