[arachne] ssh errors

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

OK! I was real curious to see if one could administer a
server from Arachne using ssh. I haven't used DOS in a
lot of years so I wiped NetBSD from my BSD box and installed
FreeDOS. I then installed Arachne, made a temp dir and all,
searched the web for a packet driver, being a lucky one on
this list I never had to search for drivers or DLLs in 'nix,
like I always have for dos/windows, anyway back to it. When
I access the WWW it takes forever to load a page such as google.
plus I have to enter the full address in the address bar, http*
Also the X on the toolbar does nothing, isn't this supposed to
exit Arachne? I installed the ssh apms, if I use the address
bar to file:\\ssh2dos.htm, I get "Arachne Load Error". I
Hotlisted it when I installed it, but if I use that, all I get
is a black screen with "SSH2DOS done.", and "file://ssh2dos.dgi"
in the address bar. If I go to the utilities page and click on
"List of installed packages", I get another "Arachne Load Error".
Emptying the cache whether F8, cache button, or the "empty cache"
button after the many freezes, lockups, and crashes, reboots,
et.al. 'uh why did I quit dos/windows?' will just freeze Arachne.
Emptying the cache by going to the cache dir and using del
corrupts the cookie.lst and arachne won't start. Any help on this?
I'm not sure what's up. BTW I later installed SSH2DOS and it works
fine, sshd386 and sftpd386 work great. sftpd386 downloaded a 8.5
Megabyte file in 35 seconds which isn't real shabby. Compression
uses too much memory for DOS it seems tho, but I was able to play
audio files on my remote host and use startx, but obviously no
X Forwarding but my Linux private keys did work. I realize there
has been no interest in SSH on this list, which I find somewhat
odd, but any help with the other problems would be appreciated.
