My point is that *until* it works for most people (which it
clearly doesn't), it shouldn't be included in the FAQ as a
supported method for transferring files (otherwise you will
continue to have unresolved bug reports lodged against it,
which just frustrates people).

We need to try and duplicate the exact conditions for this,
it may be a version issue with OpenSSH or somesuch.   Can
you (rudy) post the exact verbose (sftp -1 -v) log of your
connection, then we can see the version of OpenSSH that
works for you?  We have some sample logs of people for whom
it does *not* work, we need some logs of people for whom it
*does*. 

I notice that the people for whom it works (rudy, yeupou),
are active savannah developers/GNU volunteers, probably with
shell accounts, so perhaps something special in having shell
access, or some other aspect of user permissions is enabling
it to work for them, but not the rest of us.

The strange thing is that it works for several people
including me.
