Another 'me too' for the sftp problem - no interactive mode
and no indications as to why the connection is closed,
even at the highest verbosity levels. This is on Debian
stable, which is using openssh 3.4p1-1, apparently.

The reason I wanted to use it was to fix an upload mistake,
but I found I could use rsync to accomplish the same ends
if I created a mirror of the file area that I wanted and 
uploaded it with something like:

rsync -e=ssh -r --delete filearea/ address@hidden:/upload/my-project/

This put filearea/stable.pkg/1.01/yaf-splash_1.01.tar.gz into
upload/yaf-splash/stable.pkg/1.01/yaf-splash_1.01.tar.gz for me,
and cleaned out some directory name goofs I made. Note that rsync's
behaviour with regards to trailing slashes is a bit quirky - this 
worked for me, but I'm not sure what would happen if you left the 
trailing slashes off - it might do the wrong thing, and that's worth
commenting on in the FAQ.

I've updated the faq page.  I'll post the verbose messages
tomorrow, it's to late now and I am tired.
