SFTP 'Renaming bug'

2003-11-07 04:06

Hi there Martin, I'm Pablo:

Let me expose the scenario...
I have one lil' server running OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 Debian 1:3.6.1p2-9, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090703f connected to a Windoze 2000 server using SaMBa Version 3.0.0-Debian. OK? Lets go...

When using SFTP to remotely upload a file in a smbmounted path it fails after e-v-e-r-y file complaining about "Permission denied" when renaming the transfered file from whatever.txt.filepart to whatever.txt.
So, to isolate the problem, i tried renaming an already transferred file. I am root, the smbshare is mounted by root, and the files' permissions are 644. No success. If I try a folder instead then it'll work.

SCP itself works perfectly for both folders and files.

Clues?

btw... i've just sent you an updated ini.

Thanks again, man.

Re: SFTP 'Renaming bug'

Do I understand it right that you cannot rename any file with SFTP? What SFTP version does the server support? You can see the version on status bar, i.e. SFTP (v3).

As temporary workaround to allow uploads, switch off resume support on Transfer tab of Preferences dialog.

SFTP is version 3
And I can rename using SFTP, but not within smbmounts paths boundaries. SCP is working great with smbmounted paths, though.

Has anybody ever solved the SFTP rename bug on samba shares?

2005-10-12 10:56

Hi there,

I'm currently experiencing this problem with the uploading of files and the .filepart renaming problem.

I use WinSCP 3.7.6 build 306 with some SUSE Linux 9.0 (x86) with:
SSH-2, OpenSSH_3.7.1p2, AES, compression yes, SFTP (v3)

I can upload, resume and rename just fine for example in the local Linux paths like /home/username and so forth, but as soon as I upload to the Samba share /mnt/g/ then it fails to rename the .filepart file right after it finished the upload.

Is there any real solution to this problem?

File permissions on the Samba share are set for everybody, all rights, read write execute and so forth, no problem there.

I can also delete files on the Samba share with WinSCP, but I can't rename at all with WinSCP on the Samba share.

Everything else works just fine (resume on local Linux paths, upload, download, delete,....)

Thanks for any hints how to resolve this problem.

Can you do that with any other SFTP client? (PSFTP, FileZilla, ...)

I've tried FileZilla, I got the same error.
I can rename dirs but not files.

I thought of maybe just disabling the .filepart renaming when you transfer a file would be a solution (at least for me).

You can disable transfer resuming support. See:

Filepart files are not renamed (permission denied)

2009-10-08 16:18

I've had this problem when copying .iso local files to a VMware ESX server.

The connexion was configured to use SFTP! I've changed it to SCP instead and now, the files are copied with no errors.

I've had this problem when copying .iso local files to a VMware ESX server.

In our situation the root user didn't have the proper rights in that directory. Therefore the copy didn't succeed. Rename or deleting also didn't work from the WinSCP GUI. So it wasn't a WinSCP problem, but more an ESX rights configuration.

Rename issue in WinSCP

2010-09-30 07:14

Hi Martin,
I've seen the solution for running WinSCP.exe, but what about the solution for WinSCP.com/scripting? Is there a way of turning off resume here too? Like an option or a switch ? I can't find anything on the forums.
I'm simply running a script via WinSCP.com, transfer works perfectly but error is the usual:

Transfer was successfully finished, but temprary transfer file 'x.filepart' could not be renamed to target filename 'x'.If the problem persists you may try to turn off transfer resume support.
Permission Denied.
Error code: 3
Error message from server: Permission denied!
Request code: 18

etc., etc.

Many thanks

SCP tweak

2012-10-22 18:02

Thanks for the helpful tip, I am now able to use "filepart" with the SMB-shares. One more tweak I had to apply: under "Settings > Session" I chose SCP and under "Settings > Environment > SCP/Shell" I had to set Shell to /bin/ksh, because with setting "Standard", WinSCP would complain about an invalid line in the file-listing because ls -al generates a summary-line that shows the total (k)bytes in the current folder.
