[opensuse] sftp is unreliable
I created a 12G tar archive on another computer using nfs. I then brought that archive back again using sftp. Although the size was correct, the archive was corrupted. sha256 values did not match. When I brought it back by nfs again it was fine. The moral of the story is, don't trust sftp. (p.s. I don't think it was binary/text mode, as the files would be different sizes I think.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Is this problem reproducible? Are all the files regular files, binary or text, or are there more exotic file types present? Roger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
