On server:

Code: [Select]

zhangweiwu@Pyrrhus:~$ amulecmd -h localhost
This is amulecmd 2.1.3
Enter password for mule connection:

On my notebook:

Code: [Select]

zhangweiwu@esmeralda:~$ amulecmd -h pyrrhus
This is amulecmd 2.2.2
Enter password for mule connection:

I first thought it's a network problem that amuled on server only accept connections from localhost. But I verified it's not the case by using ssh -L on my notebook:

Code: [Select]

$ ssh -L 4712:localhost:4712 pyrrhus sleep 10 & sleep 5; amulecmd -h localhost
[1] 7011
This is amulecmd 2.2.2
Enter password for mule connection:

zhangweiwu@esmeralda:incoming$

[1]+  Stopped                 ssh -L 4712:localhost:4712 pyrrhus sleep 10

My question: Is there a version compatibility problem or change to the protocol? Otherwise what do you think is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

[zhangweiwu]

It seems amule external control protocol is not stable at all and change from version to version. I upgraded server to 2.2.1 and solved the problem.

Yes, this is intended. EC is generally only compatible inside the same version (for instance 2.2.x, but not SVN or 2.1.3) unless advertised otherwise. We should probably make this more clear and tell the user about it when he tries to connect.
