sftp problem – Failed sending data to the peer

[John Bonnie]

I’m getting an error on an outbound thread when I try to send a file using sftp. From the process log below it appears to connect to the external system but it wont write the file. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

* Connected to emft.relayhealth.com (206.227.220.9) port 22 (#0)

* SSH authentication methods available: publickey,password

* Using ssh public key file /home/hci/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

* Using ssh private key file /home/hci/.ssh/id_dsa

* SSH public key authentication failed: Unable to initialize private key from file

* Initialized password authentication

* Authentication complete

* Closing connection #0

* Failed sending data to the peer

Hi John, long time 🙂

Have you verified that you can actually establish an sftp connection to the site via the command-line sftp utility? The public/private key authentication has failed, and although it looks like password authentication has succeeded, I’m not sure you actually have access.

Try:

/home/hci $ sftp @emft.relayhealth.com

Replace with the username supplied by RelayHealth.

If public/private key authentication still fails (it likely will), enter the password when prompted. If you get the sftp> prompt, you’ve authenticated successfully.

Next, try transferring a file:

sftp> put

If that fails, I’d assume it’s a permissions problem on the RelayHealth side, or that you’re not in the right directory for file transfer. You may need to have RH set the home directory for that account to the proper directory or issue a ‘cd’ command to change to it.

If it succeeds, though, we’ll need to do some tcl debugging in the transfer script.

Hope this gives you something to go on.
