[jira] [Comment Edited] (SSHD-903) SFTP version negotiation does not work

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-903?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16780220#comment-16780220 ]

IMHO in the Draft 13 they are describing a version negotiation in the chapters 5.1. Client Initialization & 5.2. Server Initialization. Especially in 5.2 stated:
{quote}The SSH_FXP_VERSION packet (from server to client) has the following data: uint32 version extension-pair extensions[0..n] 'version' is the *lower of the protocol version supported by the server and the version number received from the client*.
{quote}
If interpreted this as Clients sends version 6, server supports max version 3, 3 is the lower protocol version supported by the server and the version number received from the client, 6, thus returning 3 to the client. 

I have implemented this behavior, set WinSCP to version 6, and after connecting they are using version 3. I attached some screenshots and logging.

> I have some problems with uploading files to our MINA SSHD based SFTP server when using ,different version, of WinSCP as SFTP client. WinSCP is configured to use version 6 of the SFTP protocol if possible. 
> Uploading a file of ~ 45KB sometimes result in a file of 32711 bytes where in the data is not appended (from the second SFTP packet) but overwritten. (But did not pin point the exact bug)
> As a temporary solution I found, in issue SSHD-874, a comment which suggest to force the server to use sftp-protocol version 3. If I do this I expect the server to negotiate with the client that version 3 should be used instead of version 6. But what happens is that the server sends a not supported message.
>  
> I think that the AbstractSftpSubsystemHelper::checkVersionCompatibility() is the problem.
> See my screenshots. As you can see the version proposed by WinSCP is version 6. I forced the server on version 3.
