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.

this should work actually and it works for me

Are you are using secure ssh sftp? For me also, sftp is working fine on some other machines. This is the only machine where we have secure ssh installed.

I think key here this paticular version of sftp:

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

Is it possible for me to have two different vesions of sftp installed on same machine???
