Net ssh users - Apr 2006 - Is there some minimum required version of sshd?

Hello all,

I have a somewhat strange problem with net-ssh/sftp script.
Script in question copies some files from local disk to remote
servers, server by server. Strange thing is that everything works fine
on 7 out of 8 servers. That one servers fails every time with this
same error. Since all servers are a bit different when it comes to
versions of OS(Fedora) and installed software I was wondering if there
is some requirement on version of sshd?
Or if there are some specific versions that are known not to work well
with net-ssh.

I''ve successfully read the contents of remote directory on that same
Net::SFTP::Session before calling mkdir(). But on mkdir() I got this
error:

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-sftp-1.1.0/lib/net/sftp/operations/abstract.rb:78:in

        from site.rb:153

BTW. I''m on Win2000 with ruby 1.8.4 and all gems are up-to-date.

P.S. How do I find out what version of sshd I''m running? Would that be
the same as ssh version?
