[erlang-questions] SFTP

[Karolis Petrauskas]

I'm using "Erlang/OTP 19 [erts-8.2]", debian package from
erlang-solutions, version 1:19.2-1.

I'll check that with erlang client and sshd server. I was playing with
ssh_sftpd server from a command line (sftp), and noticed no problems
except the cwd problem when combined with root directory restriction.
