Cannot complete SSH login. Login process stops after Escape character is '^@]'

Feb 27, 2018

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

When connecting to the remote host via SSH, you get stuck at the following last line:

Xshell (Build 0000) Copyright (c) 2002-2018 NetSarang Computer, Inc. All rights reserved. Type `help' to learn how to use Xshell prompt. [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
