Re: 'Short sftp packet error' in libssh

[Mani Amoozadeh <mani.amoozadeh2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Following the last email I don't see any options to change chunk size when copying a file to the remote computer:

#include <libssh/sftp.h>

#include <sys/stat.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

int sftp_helloworld(ssh_session session, sftp_session sftp)

{

int access_type = O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC;

sftp_file file;

const char *helloworld = "Hello, World!\n";

int length = strlen(helloworld);

int rc, nwritten;

...

file = sftp_open(sftp, "helloworld/helloworld.txt",

access_type, S_IRWXU);

if (file == NULL)

{

fprintf(stderr, "Can't open file for writing: %s\n",

ssh_get_error(session));

return SSH_ERROR;

}

nwritten = sftp_write(file, helloworld, length);

if (nwritten != length)

{

fprintf(stderr, "Can't write data to file: %s\n",

ssh_get_error(session));

sftp_close(file);

return SSH_ERROR;

}

rc = sftp_close(file);

if (rc != SSH_OK)

{

fprintf(stderr, "Can't close the written file: %s\n",

ssh_get_error(session));

return rc;

}

return SSH_OK;

}

I dont know. How can I check it?

I am using the exact same sample code provided in the documentation.

I am sending a file from x86-64 system to ARM system.

Hey,

do you write in 16k chunks?
