Summary:  sftp access fails oddly - better error handling or docs would be nice

Original Submission:  Running a sftp command (any other one using sftp as well)

produces the following output. What's going on?



$ tla make-archive --mirror address@hidden sftp://address@hidden/testarch2



usage: sftp [-vC1] [-b batchfile] [-o option] [-s subsystem|path] [-B 
buffer_size]

            [-F config] [-P direct server path] [-S program]

            address@hidden:file [file]]

Error reading from serve

There is a patch in software.srparish.net--2003tla/tla--devo--1.0 which

passes ssh the '-2' flag to enforce the use of only ssh version 2.

Yes, that seems to solve the problem.



However, my original bug report still stands: documenting this (even as simply 
as a "Make sure your ssh is connecting with protocol version 2" in the error 
output) would help a lot.

This is probably due to your ssh configuration.

Have a look at these posts to the mailing list:
