SFTP issue

[Mrityunjoy Kundu]

we have genarated ssh keys and now we are able to connect remote server. But while sending data through sftp "lcd" to some local directory failed although they are exist on local server.

E-MS$ sftp
sftp> open AOLTRIO676@213.187.33.243
Opening connection to AOLTRIO676@213.187.33.243

sftp> I'm Robo-FTP Server 3.1.1.0
sftp> lcd /btn_cpe
/DISK$BCK/000000
sftp> lls
.
INCOMING.DIR;1
LOGFILES.DIR;1
PROCESSED.DIR;1
RECEIVED.DIR;1
VAT.DIR;1
WORKFILES.DIR;1
sftp> lcd /incoming
CD failed.
/DISK$BCK/000000
sftp> lcd INCOMING
PWD failed.
sftp>

We want to change local directory to incoming where we got "PWD failed" message.

Help!!!

[Steven Schweda]

> Help!!!

You first.

sftp "-V"

Who owns INCOMING.DIR, and what are its
protections? And who are you? And can you
SET DEFAULT to this directory (and see its
contents) before you run SFTP?

dire /owne /prot INCOMING.DIR
[...]

> sftp> lcd /incoming
> CD failed.

No big surprise there. "/" is not a very
well-defined thing on a VMS system.

Hi,

>> sftp> lcd /incoming
>> CD failed.
>> /DISK$BCK/000000
>> sftp> lcd INCOMING
>> PWD failed.
>> sftp>

Have you also tried this
sftp> lcd /INCOMING

Hi,

Which version of TCP/IP are you using?
Looks like this issue has been fixed. Refer the below link:
http://h30266.www3.hp.com/masterindex/release_notes/release_notes_00c97bb0.txt

=====================================================
14-Mar-2005 Alpha and IA64

Problem:

The sftp lcd and lpwd commands issue the error "PWD failed."

Deliverables:

TCPIP$SSH_SFTP2.EXE

Reference:

Check when I tried with sftp -V, I can set def to the directory

[Duncan Morris · Accepted solution]

Hi Joy,

please check the definition of btn_cpe - it should be a rooted directory ending in a full stop. If I remember correctly

disk$bck:[btn_cpe.]

Compare with the definitions of carre4, virgin_twn2 and and others in sylogicals.com.

Best wishes,

Duncan

[Mrityunjoy Kundu]

Hi Duncan,

It has been already defined

(LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

"CARRE4" = "DISK$BCK:[CARREFOUR.]"

(LNM$SYSCLUSTER_TABLE)

(UNI_MAILBOXES_LIVEUK)
E-MS$ show lo btn_cpe
"BTN_CPE" = "DISK$BCK:[BTN_CPE.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
E-MS$ setuser btn_batch

Username: BTN_BATCH
Directory: USER_DISK:[BTN_BATCH]
UIC: [377,6707]
Account: SALESREP

E-MS$ show lo btn_cpe
"BTN_CPE" = "DISK$BCK:[BTN_CPE.]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

Do we need to pay for this information?

> Check when I tried with sftp -V, [...]

"-V" and "-v" are different. (And one of
them needs to be quoted.)
