[winswitch] Problem using Xpra client on Windows

[Leith Bade]

Hi,



I am trying to get the Windows Xpra client to use a saved SSH proxy chain from PuTTY.



When I run:

Xpra_cmd.exe attach -ssh="plink -load ANU"



I get this:

xpra client version 0.10.9

Usage:

        Xpra_cmd.exe attach [DISPLAY]

        Xpra_cmd.exe detach [DISPLAY]

        Xpra_cmd.exe screenshot filename [DISPLAY]

        Xpra_cmd.exe info [DISPLAY]

        Xpra_cmd.exe version [DISPLAY]

        Xpra_cmd.exe shadow DISPLAY

(This xpra installation does not support starting local servers.)



Xpra_cmd.exe: error: cannot find a live server to connect to



So I tried again with

Xpra_cmd.exe attach :100 -ssh="plink -load ANU"



Then I got:

xpra client version 0.10.9

connection failed: 'module' object has no attribute 'AF_UNIX'



So I tried again with:

Xpra_cmd.exe attach ssh:server-host:100 -ssh="plink -load ANU"

2013-11-19 17:09:32,269 connection lost: write connection reset: [Errno 32] Broken pipe



So I am a bit stuck here.



For some info on the setup with the SSH it is this:

Local machine (Windows 7 x64) -> gateway-server -> server-host (running a xpra daemon)



I have set this up in Putty as a saved config "ANU" using the local proxy options and plink as documented here:

Can you guys help me?
