It's IRIX 5.3 & seems to be left with minimal maintenance (it works).

There's no dir 'misc' in  /usr/lib  on the remote machine nor a 'ssh'.

In reply to Stroller, all I have in  ~/.ssh  is 'known_hosts',
which does allow successful connection to the remote machine.

That's just to respond to both your kind helps (big smiles).
I checked the CHASS WWW site & it contained an Ssh access link;
when I logged in, the system was IRIX64 6.5 & the hostname different.
Armed with that knowledge, I tried again with the new hostname
& succeeded with Sftp from CLI & from Krusader & with Fish from Krusader !
So something did change from Krusader 1.80.0 -> 2.0.0 
-- perhaps no longer guessing a hostname if it's not found at once -- ,
but if I enter the (now known) correct hostname everything works as of old.

Thanks again for your advice.
