Xshell (Build 0000)

[C:\~]$ 
Connecting to 192.168.1.123:22...
Connection established.
Escape character is '^@]'.

RESOLUTION

This problem may occur when Xshell has the "Don't allocate a pseudo-terminal' option enabled. This option allows Xshell to run as tunneling only mode. To disable this option:
  1. Open session properties
  2. Click on the SSH menu
  3. Clear the "Don't allocate a pseudo-terminal" option
