In all the possible manuals for sftp, I have always found

get [-P] remote-path [local-path]


but get does not rename the file. It actually thinks I want to get “eieio” and “a1” from pontoon – it’s behaving like “mget”.

>sftp user1@pontoon

sftp> cd test

/home/vmmpprod/test

sftp> get eieio a1

test/a1: No such file or directory.

eieio | 0 kB | 0.0 kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100%

sftp> close

sftp> quit


Have you ever seen this problem? Anyway of resolving it??

I am using
sftp -V
sftp: F-Secure SSH 3.1.0 (build 12) on sparc-sun-solaris2.8


Thanks for reading. Hope to get some responses. Also please let me know if you think it should be in some other forum.
