Buru SFTP Server: mkdir -p problem

Question

Hello

I am making a backup in FreePBX(freepbx.org) and saving it to the Buru SFTP server.
The backup is created but the end status is considered erroneous.

Backup log:

The command mkdir -p should not give an error if the directory exists
This works without error when using other SSH Linux servers.
You can add processing of the -p key to the mkdir command.

Best regard,

Hello,

Buru SFTP Server's virtual shell is not a full-featured Linux-like shell - it only simulates a subset of it - mostly what's needed by SCP clients (such as WinSCP).

However, mkdir's "-p" argument looks like a simple and nice-to-have feature, and something we should offer. We'll add support for it to one of the next releases.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
