I am getting the "Failure when receiving data from the peer" error message
when I try to download a large file using ssh.
Curl Version curl-7-19.7
SSH Version libssh2-1.2.1
Debian Linux
I have gotten this error from the curl library, but I also see the same error
using the curl command line.
The number of bytes transferred before the copy fails varies for both the
library and the command line.
Using the scp command to do the copy works. ( I think this means the ssh server
is working)
Using the curl command line with the url set to
sftp://127.0.0.1//var/scp/testRelease.rel works.
I can provide a small program using the curl library to generate the error if
necessary
Thanks
Brad
