Hello Andreas,
I just tried with the current master from git -> same problem. Program will
hang infinitely in poll function, when network cable gets unplugged for some
minutes. It will still hang, when network cable is plugged again.
Then I changed some code parts, so that the poll function is called with the
user timeout and the ssh_poll function returns -1 if it runs into the timeout.
Now when I unplug the target machine during a long running sftp file upload,
the upload fails. My code then tries to reconnect the ssh session, that also
fails as long as the cable is unplugged. When plugging the cable the connection
is established and file transfer starts again. Just like I would expect.
Could you (or some other libssh developer) please check my diff: Are there any
side-effects of my change? Why is ssh_handle_packets_termination always called
with SSH_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT in the current git master?
Thanks in advance!
Jakob Kohl
