[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.1.2.2 (Qt - 4.8.6)

On Windows 11, when trying to mount a shared folder to remote Linux 
desktop, a cmd.exe window appears with error:

/cygdrive/C/Users/dkopa/.x2go/etc/sshd_config line 3: Deprecated option 
UsePrivilegeSeparation

and sharing doesn't work at all. On Windows 10 the problem was not present.

This is a severe bug IMO as Windows 11 users can't share files.

Hm,

I am wondering why this makes a difference. The sshd comes with
x2goclient and should be the same. Therefore it should know the same
options as on Windows 10.

I can see the same message on Windows 10 when calling sshd directly,
but I do not see any reference to "cygdrive":

"C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient\sshd.exe" -f
c:\Users\USER\.x2go\etc\sshd_config
c:\\Users\\USER\\.x2go\\etc\\sshd_config line 3: Deprecated option
UsePrivilegeSeparation
Could not load host key: /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
Could not load host key: /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_ed25519_key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

Can you verify this on Win 11?

So are you sure you are using the right environment? Is there a
separate cygwin installation on the system? Are you using Windows
Subsystem for Linux?

Hi,

there is no separate cygwin or Subsystem for Linux here.

In user's homedir in file ".x2go\etc\sshdconfig" if you change the line:

Subsystem sftp C:/Progra~2/X2GOCL~1/sftp-server

to

Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

it works for one session. However, you can't change this permanently in 
X2Go client.

What happens when you (temporarily) rename the sftp-server binary so
that sshd cannot find it?
