Copying creates inaccessible files

[Ken Sharp]

Copying a full directory over sshfs creates a whole load of inaccessible, useless data. See "Directory copy.log". No errors reported at all.

The original files can be shown in "sdcard.log".

I then tried copying individual files from the server to the client machine and the data itself appeared to copy, but not all the permissions were set correctly. See "Individual copy.log". No errors reported either.

Basically, sshfs doesn't seem to have any idea what it's supposed to do.

This appears to have started occurring around the same time that Bug 1211002 appeared.

Server is Dropbear sshd v0.53.1, modified (in some way) to be dropped by SSHDroid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS which seems to have sshfs 2.8.

It seems to be the same or similar to this upstream bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383069

And it should be fixed in sshfs 3.2.1 (which obviously is not in Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS).

This bug happens when I try to copy/move many files and destroyed a lot of pictures in my case ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60434201/how-to-repair-jpegs-like-okular-sees-them ).

I tried version 2.10+repack-2, which is the "newest" package I found that was installable with dependencies on 18.04.4 (newer deb packages seem to rely on newer dependencies that aren't available in 18.04).
The version still has this bug, though.

Does anyone have a hint how to get a newer (=bug-free) version of sshfs?

You can compile from source but nobody has mentioned if this bug is fixed. File corruption is not the bug reported here.
