            Bug ID: 2150
           Summary: Recursive upload expects target directory to already
                    exist
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: sftp
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: imorgan at nas.nasa.gov

The "put -r" support in sftp(1) expects a directory with the same name
as teh source directory to exist on the server prior to the upload.
That
is contrary to the behaviour of "scp -r" and is thus unexpected. It is
also contrary to the behaviour of "get -r."

sftp> cd test
sftp> lcd /etc
sftp> ls
sftp> put -r sasl2
Uploading sasl2/ to /u1/imorgan/test/sasl2
Couldn't canonicalise: No such file or directory
Unable to canonicalise path "/u1/imorgan/test/sasl2"
