[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Getting SETSTAT failures from sftp-put

[Bob G. <sta...@ga...>]

Dear perl-gods,
I have a daemon, written in perl, that SFTP's files to target hosts
based upon an INI file of local-directories to watch, and target-hosts.
  It has been working fine for some time.

I am using Perl v5.8.8, Net::SFTP::Foreign v1.51 & ::Compat v1.36

The relevant code is:
%LIBARGS=('user'+>$RHUSER,'port'=>$RHPORT,'late_setperm'=>1);
$SLC = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($RHNAME, %LIBARGS);
my $FXSTAT = $SLC->put($SAF, $DAF);

A new host to which I must now send things is a relatively new SFTP
implementation and has internal processes that move files as soon as
received.  I suspect this is the reason I am getting an error:
"Couldn't setstat remote file (setstat)': Specified file path is invalid"
...even though the file was received by the remote host.

This new host also does not permit changing perms on open files so the
"late_setperm" argument must be used (as is required on all my other hosts).
Given a choice between error 3 "The requested operation cannot be
performed because there is a file transfer in progress" or error 2
"Specified file path is invalid", I've opted to put in a workaround (the
logic handling $FXSTAT values) to disregard error 2 from this particular
host.
I'd prefer eliminating the error.

I am not talented enough to interpret all that is going on in
Net/SFTP/Foreign/Compat.pm
but I believe it is setting permissions and such, whether that is needed
or not, and this is what is actually failing.
I absolutely do NOT want to modify Compat.pm or any other parts of the
module, for a variety of reasons.
I am hoping there is some option to disable the setting of attributes.

Thanks for any help with this.
