Hi,

when calling Rename the method throws the following exception:

Rebex.Net.SftpException: Failure; Unable to rename file or folder.
at nnuz.vwje(xdaf are, Type arf)
at Rebex.Net.Sftp.xhfq(String sh, String si, nnui sj)

But even though there is an exception the remote file is properly renamed, so I guess the parameters are good.

My problem is to distinguish this false negative (rename succeeded and exception thrown) from a real negative (rename failed and exception is thrown).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sascha

Hi,

as requested I logged everything at debug level. What's strange is that the file permissions shown in the log are not the permissions I can see when using e.g. winSCP. In winSCP the file permissions are rw-rw-rw, while in the log only the owner has rw. I can't validate it, but I doubt that my sftp-user is the owner of the files. Anyways, despite the exception shown in the log the file was properly renamed.

Here comes the log (some line removed due to max 8000 char limitation of the forum):

Thank you for the log. It showed, that you are calling the Rename() method two times.
The first call succeeded. Second call failed, because there was no such file yet.

Please ensure that you are calling the Rename() method for given parameters only once.

Arrggh!! Yes, you are right. I missed the second rename in my own code. Thanks for helping me out and for your quick response.

Can you please create communication log in Debug level and post it here or send it to support@rebex.net for analysis. Using it, we should be able to tell what is going on and how to prevent false negative.

The log can be created like this:

var client = new Ftp();
client.LogWriter = new Rebex.FileLogWriter("c:/data/ftp.log", Rebex.LogLevel.Debug);
...
