Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with getDirectory using the listed files and concurrency: 2, then trace the transfer path responsible for the Seek fault. Compare the failing and successful files and inspect how the tick callback receives errors. Done means the affected files download successfully and the behavior has regression coverage.

Description

unconfirmed bug

I try to download a directory, for some files I get an seek faul error. Always the same files failing.

// Function to download a directory
async function backupDirectory(backupDir) {
  try {
    await sftp.connect(server);
    
    console.log('Connected to SFTP server');
    
    const failed = []
    const successful = []
    
    const status = await sftp.getDirectory(backupDir, '/0g564be4cbaMfUx3', {
      recursive: true,
      concurrency: 2,
      tick: function(localPath, remotePath, error) {
        if (error) {
          console.log(`Failed to download ${remotePath}: ${error}`);
          failed.push(localPath)
        } else {
          console.log(`Successfully downloaded ${remotePath}`);
          successful.push(localPath)
        }
      }
    });
    
    console.log('the directory transfer was', status ? 'successful' : 'unsuccessful')
    console.log('failed transfers', failed.length);
    console.log('successful transfers', successful.length);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('SFTP error:', err);
  } finally {
    await sftp.dispose();
  }
}

Console output:
