Problems Pushing to personal SFTP server

Asked by Albert Yang

I am currently using Serv-U. When I try pushing a branch to my server with bazaar using sftp, it says the following:

Connecter (version 2.0, client Serv-U_11.0.0.2)
Authentication continues...
Secsh channel 1 opened.
[chan 1] Opened sftp connection (server version 3)
bzr: ERROR: Failure.

However, pushing without using sftp and only normal ftp, or branching with sftp works perfectly fine. May someone please help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This is what happens in bzr.log

Can you paste the relevant bits from ~/.bzr.log ?

Please define "relevant bits" and is it the log command?

Revision history for this message
Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer) said : 		#3

It's the .bzr.log file in your home directory if you're on Linux/Mac.

With relevant bits I mean the section in the log file related to the push command that failed.

Would it be in the same location on windows?

IOError: Failure.

That seems to be the error, is there a possible fix?

I've noticed that after i push it creates the branch folder and some files in the .bzr folder, but it does not finish and then it fails.

One possibility is that the sftp server is not giving specific enough error returns for certain filesystem operation failures for bzr to interpret the state correctly, that's a problem with some ftp servers at least, which we've got around in the past by sniffing for exact strings. If you can get a log from the server side of what it's sending, that may allow you to add a check along those lines.
