I apologize if this is not the right place to post a message about a gem
like Net::SFTP - if there is a more appropriate forum please let me
know.
When I try to connect to one SFTP server, everything works great. This
is the code:
require “net/sftp”
class TestSftp
Net::SFTP.start("", “”,
:password => “”)
do |sftp|
sftp.download!("",
“”)
end
end
However when trying to connect to a particular SFTP server, I receive
the following error message:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/net-sftp-2.0.2/lib/net/sftp/operations/download.rb:307:in

Line 307 in download.rb looks like this:
raise “open #{entry.remote}: #{response}” unless response.ok?
However, I really don’t know what’s going on. One thing to note is that
I can sftp fine from the command line to this particular server - I’m
pretty sure it’s not an issue with my login credentials being correct.
I’m wondering if a different protocol is being used on this particular
server and and if Net::SFTP is having problems with that; or something
of this nature. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.
