Partial functionality using account without shell access? [message #25147] Sun, 27 July 2008 13:20 Go to next message

Hi,

When I create an SSH-only connection and log in using an account which
does not have shell access, I am able to navigate the file system and
download/update files, but when I perform a copy operation from one
directory to another within the server (as far as I know the account owns
these directories), the progress dialog is displayed, etc., but the file
is not copied, and I can't see any error message in my workspace log file.

Why can I do some things and not others?

Thanks,

Glen.

Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)

Hi Glen,

The Sftp protocol standard which SSH uses for file transfer
does not support copying files remotely. Therefore, RSE
falls back to issuing an "cp -Rf" command via a shell
channel.

Apparently, error reporting is not appropriate for your case
where Sftp works but SSH shell access does not. Please file
a bug in bugzilla for that. We could think about a workaround
where the files that you want to copy are first downloaded,
then uploaded to the new place.

Cheers,
