             Summary: Dubious SSH_FXP_REALPATH handling
                 Key: SSHD-294
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-294
             Project: MINA SSHD
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0
            Reporter: Kohsuke Kawaguchi


SSH_FXP_REALPATH is used to canonicalizing path on the server side, so clients 
often send path names that do not exist. The procol 
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-02) clearly states that 
it should respond with dummy attribute values.

SftpSubsystem class, OTOH, attempts to return actual file attributes, which 
could fail on non-existent paths (or if the path exists but is at the location 
the user doesn't have access to.)

Handler for SSH_FXP_REALPATH shouldn't attempt to get attributes, or if you do, 
it must recover from errors in SshFile and report dummy values instead.
