SFTP SetAttributes() issue

RJ · Post by RJ » Tue 08 Sep 2009 18:14

When trying to use the ScSFTPClient.SetAttributes() function I get the following exception: class EScError ... "Timeout expired, SFTP server have not responded".

The timeout value is set to 15 and the error occur immediately after calling the function.

I've tried ScSFTPClient.SetAttributesByHandle() as well and with the same result.

I could not reproduce the problem. Please send me a complete small sample to dmitryg*devart*com to demonstrate it.

A small example project has been sent. I've only tried it against OpenSSH server running on Ubuntu (latest version).

This problem is arisen because OpenSSH server closes the connection with SFTP client when receiving the command to change specified attributes.
To solve this probelm, you should add the following code before calling the SetAttributes method:

Code: Select all

attr.ValidAttributes := attr.ValidAttributes - [aAccessTime];

That worked. Thank you!
