[Info-vax] Potential loss of data problem in sftp client in TCP/IP Services ?

[Simon Clubley]

I am experiencing a file truncation problem with a TCP/IP engineering
image version of the TCP/IP Services sftp client and I am wondering
if anyone here can reproduce it.

Try using the sftp client to send something small (so that it's easy to
check; I am using my login.com) to a Linux sftp server.

When I do this (both in "ascii dos" mode and binary mode) the last
few dozen bytes of my login.com are lost during transfer.

This worked on TCP/IP V5.6 ECO5 (at least in binary mode; ascii dos was
documented then but not implemented) without data loss, but it does not
work for me with the latest TCP/IP Engineering sftp image.

I'm trying to find out if someone else can get this to fail using the
latest published V5.7 ECOs or if it's just a unreleased TCP/IP Engineering
image problem (or something that triggers under very specific
circumstances only).

I've only just discovered this today after another unrelated problem was
fixed which stopped me from getting this far. I've passed it back to
support, and I am waiting for a response.

Thanks,

Simon.
