SFTP pub.client.sftp:cd Failing on One Node After Switching sftperveralias to Version 2 on IS page

  • 1.  SFTP pub.client.sftp:cd Failing on One Node After Switching sftperveralias to Version 2 on IS page

    Posted Mon May 05, 2025 09:45 AM

    Hi Community,

    We've recently switched from version 1 to version 2 of our SFTP integration (still using pub.client.sftp with username alias authentication) and started encountering a strange issue.

    Issue Summary:

    After the version change, the pub.client.sftp:cd service fails only on one node in both QA and PROD.

    The same configuration works perfectly fine on the other node.

    This issue is also limited to one specific interface - other interfaces using the same username alias, SFTP server, and path are working fine even on the affected node.

    Error Observed:

    pub.client.sftp:cd: com.sshtools.sftp.SftpClient.cd(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V

    Additional Notes:

    We are using username alias (not private key) for authentication.

    No recent changes were made to the SFTP server or credentials.

    Reverting to version 1 resolves the issue.

    Looking for Suggestions On:

    1. Any known issues or incompatibilities with pub.client.sftp in newer IS versions?

    2. Why this issue might affect

     only one node and one interface?

    Hi Badari,

    please check if the affected intances have the same set of fixes applied.
    Looks like one of them is using a different version causing a conflict while accessing the used ssh library.

    Regards,

    Interestingly we do see the issue for only one interface and for other interface which is using same user alias was successful on both nodes
