> Continuing with SFTP moveTo, see VFS-588 and VFS-589 for more details.
> The permission checks that VFS performs during moveTo() can result in failure. 
> org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.AbstractFileObject.moveTo(final FileObject destFile) starts with some checks:
> {code:java}
>     @Override
>     public void moveTo(final FileObject destFile) throws FileSystemException

>         if (canRenameTo(destFile))

>                         getName(),
>                         getParent().getName());

>             }
>         }
> {code}
> The problem is: isWriteable() might fail or even hang. Performing moveTo without this check might successfully rename the file.
> isWriteable() in case of SFTP can fail if the server disables SSH channelExec. Or if it does not support "id" command.
