When you get an error 103 establishing an SFTP

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/10

A while ago I got an error 103 using both Beyond Compare. That did not whos the connection log or error reason, but WinSCP did: it mentioned unexpected output during the logon.

I got reminded that I had already solved this error before via [Wayback/Archive] SSH login works but SFTP login doesn’t – Server Fault (thanks [Wayback/Archive] qreon and [Wayback/Archive] Paulus):

GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 Secure Wi-Fi Router On The Go – AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router | IPv6 | USB 2.0 | MU-MIMO | 128MB RAM | Repeater Bridge | Access Point-M Mode: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

For my link archive a router I bought a few years back: [Wayback/Archive] GL-SFT1200 Secure Wi-Fi Router On The Go – AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router | IPv6 | USB 2.0 | MU-MIMO | 128MB RAM | Repeater Bridge | Access Point-M Mode: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories

  • It is USB-C powered (the power brick delivers 3A at 5V, but in reality it uses far less).
  • Mode and reset buttons are behind the antenna (see picture below).
  • It is specced as AC1200, but that’s just theoretical a number.
  • It came with EU and UK plug.

I needed it because from prior experience, I knew GL.iNEt can support a special Wireless Repeater mode where it still functions as a router (hiding the LAN/WLAN behind NAT)

Two physical drawbacks likely due to the portable nature:

  1. the plastic RJ45 ports are slightly too wide which means that these keep falling out [Wayback/Archive] Inline® Dust cover, for RJ45 socket, color: green, 100pcs. Pack: Amazon.de: Electronics & Photo
  2. no holes in the base to hang it to a wall

One firmware drawback: it shipped with v3.212 for which I could not find release notes. Luckily the firmware v3.215 I upgraded to had: [Wayback/Archive] Firmware v3.215 is released – Technical Support – GL.iNet.

Links to product and manuals (the paper manual are just two thin sheets, but the on-line documentation is OK; I was surprised WireGuard and Tor were supported!):
