Help needed with secure shell "sftp"
I am using
sftp -V
sftp: F-Secure SSH 3.1.0 (build 12) on sparc-sun-solaris2.8

I think it's happening due to secure shell. I can not rename files with "get". As "get" is working fine with open shell sftp.

Here are the details about the problem:

"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

We usually ftp large files and put them through "pipes" so that we do not have to store the big files. I tried using "scp". But it overwrites the pipe with physical file.

>mkfifo a1
>ls -lrt a1
prw-rw-r-- 1 appsw prod 0 Dec 10 10:56 a1
>more scp_test
#!/bin/ksh

scp user1@pontoon:$1 $2

exit_status=$?

return $exit_status

>scp_test test/eieio a1
eieio | 6B | 0.0 kB/s | TOC: 00:00:01 | 100%
>ls -lrt a1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 appsw prod 6 Dec 10 10:56 a1

Am I missing something here? Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

SYNOPSIS

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.
