Timeout not working with sftp_read

[Makarand Pradhan <MakarandPradhan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I'm noticing an issue with sftp_read and would highly appreciate advice.

If the link goes during sftp_read, sftp_read does not return. It stays stuck even when the session timeout is set to 10 seconds.

My code:
                        while (bytesToRead)
                        {
                                timeout = 10;
                                ssh_options_set(session, SSH_OPTIONS_TIMEOUT, &timeout);
                                len = sftp_read(remoteSftpFile, data, DATALEN);

                                if (len > 0)
                                {

I was expecting that when the session timeout is set, sftp_read should return with an ERR msg set on timeout.

Have tried experimenting with non blocking, sftp_async_read. But nothing seems to work.

I'm stuck here for quite some time now. Would appreciate any suggestions that can help me handle the link down scenario for sftp_read.
