Hi Guillaume, Thanks! This sounds promising. I do realize that it's up to the client to show the error, so this is not a foolproof mechanism by any measure.
Is there an exception that I can throw from which the exception message is automatically inserted to the SSH_FX_FAILURE status? Or do I have to modify the SftpSubsystem?
