             Summary: respect SftpVersionSelector when establishing a new 
connection
                 Key: SSHD-998
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-998
             Project: MINA SSHD
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Holger Rehn
         Attachments: patch.diff

Even if using an SftpVersionSelector (e.g. created by 
SftpVersionSelector.fixedVersionSelector), SSHD sends the maximum protocol 
version that is supported (namely 6) in the initial SSH_FXP_INIT datagram. This 
behaviour is hard-coded and may cause problems if the server doesn't correctly 
handle the request/support protocol version 6. One of our customers is using a 
server that initially accepts protocol version 6, but then fails every single 
request by sending invalid data. Actually, the server only correctly supports 
SFTP 3, so this clearly is a bug in the server implementation - but could be 
circumvented quite easily by starting with protocol version 3. Furthermore an 
additional (and actually unnecessary) version renegotiation may be required 
later.

If using an SftpVersionSelector that prefers a certain protocol version other 
than 6 (custom or created by SftpVersionSelector.preferredVersionSelector), an 
additional (and actually unnecessary) network round trip is required for 
protocol version renegotiation. 

 

Please find attached a minimally invative patch against the official 2.4.0 
source to respect the version(s) accepted by an SftpVersionSelector for 
choosing the initial protocol version.
