Re: sFTP new failure mode

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

I've looked over the SSH code a little bit, searching for your error. 
From the sftp-client.c source file, it appears that part of the file 
transfer process is to get a "handle" to the remote file, and then 
"write" to that handle.  The debug3: message shows it sending the 
SSH2_FXP_OPEN command to the SSH server, requesting the open of the file.

The response from the server is 'failure'.  This error is read from the 
network connection, so it's not originating on your end, it's 
originating on the server.

Check to see if the path name is wrong... this could obviously cause it 
to fail to open a file.  Other than that, perhaps there's a problem on 
the server side?
