IOError: Failure.

This looks like some kind of failure originating in your sftp server.
Perhaps it doesn't support readv requests.

Please have a look on that server and see if there's an error logged there.

Can you use bzr+ssh rather than sftp?

I have tried sing bzr+ssh but it does not work as well. I have also tried this with another server but still no luck. Is there any ftp server that you would recommend and know it works with bazaar?

I'm not sure if this helps, but when i use bzr+ssh i get a "unable to invoke remote bzr *server*; Channel Closed" error

What happens?

OpenSSH is probably a good bet: http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
