Hi,

You are exactly right! On Linux #1, "/usr/bin/sftp" is the default one to use. After I explicitly ran my build "sftp", I got same result as that on Linux #2.

Do you have any ideas why "sftp" initialization failed on Linux #2? And how to debug (such as using libssh2_trace()",etc)?

Linux #2> sftp xx.xx.xx.xx sxuan ******* /home/sxuan/
------------------------------------------------------
-debug- argc = 5
-debug- argv[0] = sftp
-debug- argv[1] = xx.xx.xx.xx
-debug- argv[2] = sxuan
-debug- argv[3] = *******
-debug- argv[4] = /home/sxuan/
-debug- username = sxuan, password = *******, sftppath = /home/sxuan/
Fingerprint: 0B F2 D3 94 9D 0F 75 BE 69 15 33 42 B8 0D 88 CA
Authentication methods: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
libssh2_sftp_init()!
Unable to init SFTP session
all done

Best regards,
Xuan

It seems on Linux #1 you use the openssh sftp version and not the libssh2 sftp example.

If I were you, I would try "which sftp" to determine what version you are using.

Hi all,

I would like to use libssh2 to write a SFTP client. I compiled the "libssh2-1.2" under two Linux environment. Both build looked ok. I then build example "sftp" to test.

[Question 1]: Different default results when run "sftp". Why? Note, I added some "-debug-" printf messages in Linux #2.

Linux #1> sftp
---------------------
usage: sftp [-1Cv] [-B buffer_size] [-b batchfile] [-F ssh_config]
            [-o ssh_option] [-P sftp_server_path] [-R num_requests]
            [-S program] [-s subsystem | sftp_server] host
       sftp [[user@]host[:file [file]]]
       sftp [[user@]host[:dir[/]]]
       sftp -b batchfile [user@]host

Linux #2> sftp
----------------------
-debug- argc = 1
-debug- argv[0] = sftp
-debug- username = username, password = password, sftppath = /tmp/TEST
Fingerprint: 17 7E 8D C6 46 75 DE B4 30 8E 12 67 CB CC 8B F7
Authentication methods: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
Authentication by password failed.
all done
[Question 2]: Different usage support and different results. Why? And why both failed?
