resume uploads / downloads and the command line unix sftp client

[Swaroop Rath <sr...@palantir.com>]

Hi 

 Is the ability to support ³resume² a part of SFTP protocol or is it client
specific ? I see that Apache Mina SSHD does support resuming uploads and
downloads from selective clients like Panic-Transmit. I want this feature to
work from unix command line sftp client utility. What can I do to achieve
this ? 

 Any pointers would be really helpful.

This all depends on the client really.  In SFTP, the request gives the
offset to write to in the file and the data to write, so there's no notion
of "complete" download. So resuming is just a matter of the client sending
the missing data, the server has nothing to do to support that.
