Permission Denieid with IOProtocolExt SCP or SFTP

Hi,

I'm trying to use this plugin but can get it to work. It download the DB, sync it, but when it reupload, it create a "MyDatabaseName.kdbx.tmp", erase the original "MyDatabaseName.kdbx" and I then get this error message:

Error moving file 'MyDatabaseName.kdbx.tmp' to '/MyDatabaseName.kdbx'.
Command 'mv -f "MyDatabaseName.kdbx.tmp" "/MyDatabaseName.kdbx"'
failed with return code 1 and error message
mv: cannot move 'MyDatabaseName.kdbx.tmp' to '/MyDatabaseName.kdbx': Permission denied.

The remote folder is my home directory on the server. So I have full priviledge on the folder. If I log in the server in SSH, I can mv the file manually. If I try to do a "Move To" manually in WinSCP to "./MyDatabaseName.kdbx" it work.

Did I miss something?

Thank you,

Mr_sarge

If you cannot configure the server to allow this, you might want to disable the option 'Use file transactions for writing databases' (in 'Tools' -> 'Options' -> tab 'Advanced'), KeePass will then directly write the file.

Thanks for your input. I prefer to keep the transaction file, but it's a good idea.

I just saw that the plugin try to mv the file to "/" , the root of the drive. My user don't have access to this. The plugin should instead move without any direcory instruction:

mv -f MyDatabaseName.kdbx.tmp MyDatabaseName.kdbx

For now, I've edited the source of the plugin and recompiled it. In "WinScpWebRequest.cs", I replaced this line:

sbScript.AppendLine("mv \"" + strRemoteFile + "\" \"" + uriTarget.AbsolutePath + "\"");

by this:

sbScript.AppendLine("mv \"" + strRemoteFile + "\" .\"" + uriTarget.AbsolutePath + "\"");

So the file is moved into the actual directory (that is my home direcotory).

And rebuilted it with this:

keepass.exe --plgx-create C:\IOProtocolEXT-1.8-Source

Everything work perfectly now.

Thank you!
