Any help is appreciated.

Looks to me like the ssh_file_server_receive_proc: is not being allowed to fstat ( get the information about the open file associated with a descriptor).
Errno 4 indicates Interupted system call.
I beleive sftp is a thrid party software, so look for any patches or latest version with the vendor of the software.

Sorry for abusing the reply button for posting an sftp related question.
We are using the sshd for inter-Unix connects.
The drawback is that we have SAP admins who work on NT boxes within their SAPGUI, but occasionally "have to" ftp from their NT box to one of the Unix servers that host the DBMS.
I'm not very pleased with this situation, since I'm also (forcedly ;-) working from an NT box with Exceed going over an sshd server. I also found somewhere in the www a download for a free Win32 ssh scp client that I'm also sucessfully using.
But the SAPGUI gang insists on using ftp.
That's why I would feel much more relieved if I could switch them to sftp.
Could anyone of you point me to an URL where to download sftp and sftp clients for Win32?
