 Hi,

 I used the libssh2 examples "sftp.c" and "sftpdir.c", lightly modified to
 get more information on the errors.

 I have to get files from several subdirectories on a SFTP Server.
 Some of these subdirectories ar written by other users, one is written by
 the user which I use as login with user and password.
 All users are in the same group.

 Getting files which are created by "my" user works fine.

 But when I try to get the other files then libssh2_sftp_open fails,
 libssh2_session_last_error returns -31 (= LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL) and
 libssh2_sftp_last_error returns 3 (= LIBSSH2_FX_PERMISSION_DENIED).

 I have no problems reading the directories (libssh2_sftp_opendir /
 libssh2_sftp_readdir_ex).

 Examples:
 My directory on the server:
 -rw-rw-r-- 1 My_User Group1 7923 Apr 9 13:49 file1 (ok)

 Another directory:
 -rw-r--r-- 1 Other_User Group1 1229 Apr 9 00:59 file2 (fails)

 The system I work on is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (i586).
 The version of libssh2 is 1.4.3.

 /usr/bin/sftp has no problems, I can get all files; same on windows with
 WinSCP.
 The problem must be on my side.

 What could I make better? Are there more steps to do than coded in the
 examples?

 Thanks

 Peter
