[Bug 2230] New: Undocumented sftp put -r quirk: Couldn't canonicalize: No such file or directory
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2230 Bug ID: 2230 Summary: Undocumented sftp put -r quirk: Couldn't canonicalize: No such file or directory Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 6.5p1 Hardware: amd64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 Component: sftp Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org Reporter: parke.nexus at gmail.com As of OpenSSH 6.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 (package version 1:6.5p1-6), there appears to be an undocumented requirement for the sftp "put -r" command. In order to "put -r foo", a remote directory named "foo" must already exist. If a remote directory named foo does not exist, the following (confusing) error message is displayed: sftp> put -r foo Uploading foo/ to /home/user/test/foo Couldn't canonicalize: No such file or directory Unable to canonicalize path "/home/parke/test/foo" I recommend that this requirement be documented in the sftp manpage. I can draft language, if needed. The error message could also be more helpful. For example: "Required remote directory "foo" does not exist." There is related discussion on stack exchange: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/7004/uploading-directories-with-sftp http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17477226/what-cause-the-error-couldnt-canonicalise-no-such-file-or-directory-in-sftp ---- Damien Miller on the openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org mailing list has an alternative suggestion for fixing this problem: IMO the directory should be created if it doesn't exist, just like "cp -r" does. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
