Re: Getting mkdir command result

[Nikhil Agrawal <mrnikhilagrawal@xxxxxxxxx>]

When using ssh_channel_request_exec, it always returned success even if
mkdir fails and no error identified in ssh_get_error.

But setting stderr to 1 and parsing returned buffer, resolves my problem.

Many Thanks!

Nikhil
