----------------------------

             Summary: SftpClient is not able to download file from proprietory 
SFTP servers (IBM) with a one time download policy
                 Key: SSHD-1147
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-1147

          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 2.5.1
            Reporter: Alex D


Some propretory SFTP servers support a so-called "one time download" policy 
also known as Extractability Count.

which performs 2 operations in its constructor:
1) Open remote file (SftpClient::open)
2) Calculate remote file size using file's handle obtained in 1)

As a result the following error is produced on attempt to download a file from 
IBMs SFTP:
SFTP error (SSH_FX_FAILURE): The message [remote file path] is not extractable!


IBM specifically states that it's not their problem at all, and they are not 
going to fix it.
According to their flow described here:
[https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1121475?lang=en]

"Any attempt from client to issue other SFTP operations like SSH_FXP_STAT 
(reading attributes) makes server to validate extractability_count > 0.
If found 0, download would be reported as "not extractable".

Most likely it's possible to use SftpClient::openRemoteFileChannel and work 
with the obtained FileChannel manually without any additional requests to stat 
remote file size (not yet verified/confirmed).
Though it would be a cumbersome approach, as reading remote file in chunks not 
knowing its size in this case will be far from optimal.
