I hope your SFTP Server having some tolerance to I/O on the terminal. Have you tried SFTP to make sure that your SYLOGIN mods don't cause problems?

No limit that low.

This issue must be with system or filesystem configuration.

What version of sftp/secure shell?

I am using
A.03.81.004 HP-UX Secure Shell.

Please note that it works fine on FTP using command prompt.

I'm not connected to an HP-UX box now so I can't check (easily) but I recall there is a "data-limit" parameter for ftpd so there could be an equivalent for sftpd (or sftp-server. It's also possible though doubtful that the filesystem is filling up. 90MB is considered a small file these days so I'm betting on a config parameter. It would help to know whether this is a put or a get.

Did you check logfiles for any issues ? Also run with -v (increase log levels).

Thank you guys ! I do not find anything strange on syslog. How can I check or increase log level ? Please specify file name and location as well.

What version of ssh you're running?
I recently upgraded to HP-UX Secure Shell A.04.00. In /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config you can change the SftpLogLevel (AUTH,INFO etc)
[ I also changed the SftpLogFacility to LOCAL5 and add an entry to the syslog.conf ;
LOCAL5.info /var/adm/syslog/ftp.log
LOCAL5.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
so the entries voor sftp are now all logged in the ftp.log and not in the syslog.log ]
In earlier versions of HP-UX Secure Shell the entries voor Sftp where not in the sshd_config.

Aborted with what message precisely? If it always happens with the same file, what happens if you use a different file of the same size? (Not just a rename, but a file with different content).

Have you tried taking a tusc trace of the sftp session to see what happens towards the end?
