No, it's only the first 7 items in the backtrace 3. 17 K 4. it works with a 13 K file 5. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 6. OpenSSH_3.6.1p2, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f 7. I haven't had time to test 8. Fedora Core 4, Ruby 1.8.3 I think it uses only a chunk of data when getting the file with get_file I tried fetching smaller chunks and it works: sftp.open_handle(remoteFilePath) do |handle| data = sftp.read(handle, :chunk_size => 4096) end This saved my deadline :-)
