openssh unix dev - Feb 2015 - Fwd: sftp buggy put command

Hi!

I was tying out the put command with version 6.7_p1 of OpenSSH.

If I use recursive copying, sftp expects the last directory in the
<source> exists in the destination (on the server), otherwise
?Couldn't
canonicalize: No such file or directory?.

I would've taken this to be the expected behavior, but get command does
not have this problem. It makes the destination directory in the client
like with cp.

So kindly take a look at this.

This has already been noted as a bug[1][2], but hasn't been addresed
yet. I filed the original bug, but had other priorites, and then forgot
about the issue. I'll take another look at this when I get some time.
