Summary
As a side note, it was discovered that libssh2's SFTP implementation from
Debian jessie only works well against OpenSSH SFTP servers from Debian
wheezy, tests against newer OpenSSH versions (such as available in Debian
jessie and beyond) interim-fail with SFTP protocol error "Error opening
remote file". Operation might continue after this error, this depends on
application implementations.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
1.4.3-4.1+deb8u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your libssh2 packages.
