            Bug ID: 2028
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
           Summary: SCP continues to send data packets when filesystem is
                    full or ulimits reached.
          Severity: minor
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: AIX
          Reporter: steve at m4her.com
          Hardware: PPC
            Status: NEW
           Version: 5.9p1
         Component: ssh
           Product: Portable OpenSSH

During SCP a filesystem becomes full or the ulimits are breached and
the server can no longer write to the destination file, the client
continues to write until the end of the file and does not report the
issue until it has finished sending the source. However if sftp is used
it detects the issue and stops.

Not a major issue, more of an annoyance as moving large files over a
slow link does not provide a failure notification until several hours
after the issue is produced.

Tried with clients from 5.6 to 5.9p1.
