Hi all, I've got a simple script for enumerating files on an SFTP server and downloading a subset of the files there. Sometimes the script works. Other times, it hangs. I've attached the output running w/ :verbose => :debug. After printing several files names (1st on is good, the 2 others are bogus), the script hangs at "sent 52 bytes". My relevant part of my script is: sftp.dir.foreach('.') do |obj| puts " found: #{obj.name}" if obj.name next unless obj.file? next unless obj.name.present? next unless obj.name.match(/^trf\-/) # only files matching "trf-*" ...save the file name... end Gem version: net-sftp (2.0.5) net-ssh (>= 2.0.9) I'm on a Mac running OS X Lion. The SFTP server is Debian etch running OpenSSH 4.3p2. negotiating protocol version remote is `SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9etch3' local is `SSH-2.0-Ruby/Net::SSH_2.2.1 x86_64-linux' read 704 bytes received packet nr 0 type 20 len 700 got KEXINIT from server sending KEXINIT queueing packet nr 0 type 20 len 556 sent 560 bytes negotiating algorithms negotiated: * kex: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 * host_key: ssh-rsa * encryption_server: aes128-cbc * encryption_client: aes128-cbc * hmac_client: hmac-sha1 * hmac_server: hmac-sha1 * compression_client: none * compression_server: none * language_client: * language_server: exchanging keys queueing packet nr 1 type 34 len 20 sent 24 bytes read 152 bytes received packet nr 1 type 31 len 148 queueing packet nr 2 type 32 len 140 sent 144 bytes read 720 bytes received packet nr 2 type 33 len 700 queueing packet nr 3 type 21 len 20 sent 24 bytes received packet nr 3 type 21 len 12 beginning authentication of `health123' queueing packet nr 4 type 5 len 28 sent 52 bytes read 52 bytes received packet nr 4 type 6 len 28 trying publickey connecting to ssh-agent could not connect to ssh-agent trying publickey (d3:be:2f:eb:bd:61:15:0d:62:8c:65:d1:53:9c:28:a8) queueing packet nr 5 type 50 len 348 sent 372 bytes read 324 bytes received packet nr 5 type 60 len 300 queueing packet nr 6 type 50 len 620 sent 644 bytes read 36 bytes received packet nr 6 type 52 len 12 publickey succeeded (d3:be:2f:eb:bd:61:15:0d:62:8c:65:d1:53:9c:28:a8) queueing packet nr 7 type 90 len 44 sent 68 bytes read 52 bytes received packet nr 7 type 91 len 28 channel_open_confirmation: 0 0 0 32768 requesting sftp subsystem sending channel request "subsystem" queueing packet nr 8 type 98 len 44 sent 68 bytes read 88 bytes received packet nr 8 type 93 len 28 channel_window_adjust: 0 +131072 received packet nr 9 type 99 len 12 channel_success: 0 sftp subsystem successfully started queueing packet nr 9 type 94 len 28 sent 52 bytes read 148 bytes received packet nr 10 type 94 len 124 channel_data: 0 95b received sftp packet 2 len 91 negotiating sftp protocol version, mine is 6 server reports sftp version 5 negotiated version is 5 sending opendir packet (0) queueing packet nr 10 type 94 len 28 sent 52 bytes read 52 bytes received packet nr 11 type 94 len 28 channel_data: 0 14b received sftp packet 102 len 10 sending readdir packet (1) queueing packet nr 11 type 94 len 28 sent 52 bytes read 964 bytes received packet nr 12 type 94 len 940 channel_data: 0 918b received sftp packet 104 len 914 found: h123-20111117-044053.csv found: found: csv?? health123chadm??N?#?N???N???h123-20111202-023549.csv?? health123chadm??N?9?N?9?N?9?h123-20111201-200033.csv?? health123chadm??N?$N???N???h123-20111202-030147.csv?? health123chadm??N???N???N???..? health123chadmE?N?CqN???N???h123-20111202-025247.csv?? health123chadm??N?=N?=N?=.? health123chadmE?N?CqN???N???h123-20111202-025952.csv?? health123chadm??N??*N??*N??*h123-20111202-030227.csv?? health123chadm??N???N???N??? sending readdir packet (2) queueing packet nr 12 type 94 len 28 sent 52 bytes read 84 bytes received packet nr 13 type 94 len 60 channel_data: 0 34b received sftp packet 101 len 30 sending close packet (3) queueing packet nr 13 type 94 len 28 sent 52 bytes read 68 bytes received packet nr 14 type 94 len 44 channel_data: 0 30b received sftp packet 101 len 26 closing remaining channels (1 open) queueing packet nr 14 type 97 len 28 sent 52 bytes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
