Re: Writing an SFTP Server Using lobs she

["skerbsf@xxxxxxxxx" <skerbsf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Andreas,
Thanks for the response!  I believe this is exactly what I am looking for.
Still getting the feel for the API.

Still not sure what to do exactly. The first message I get back is
SSH_FXP_REALPATH.  I believe this is the initial directory that the user is
to be placed in?  Here is what I have added (without error handling for
better readability):

while (1)
{
    msg = sftp_get_client_message();
    type = sftp_client_message_get_type();

    if (type == SSH_FXP_REALPATH)
    {
        /* what do I do here?
         * am I supposed to use msg->filename
         * to change the directory?
         */

        /* what message do I send back to
         * the client on success? on failure?
         * How do I respond?
         * sftp_reply_status()?
         * in order to set the type in the message
         * I would think there should be a function
         * like sftp_client_message_set_type()
         */
    }
    else if (type == ...)
    {
    }

}


Again thanks so much for your help! Still have a ways to go to understand
the feel of the library, but getting there.
