Bug Description
Many users have difficulties using the bzr branch hosting service on Lanuchpad. The most common problems in order, are:
1. did not specify launchpad user name correctly, either ommitting the login part or specifying the login part and the owner part incorrectly.
2. using a system where the ssh key registered on launchpad is not available
3. not being a member of the team owning the branch
It would be good if the sftp server could give useful error messages to let user diagnose and correct those common problems themselves.

To post a comment you must log in.
Maybe the sftp auth code on the server could be more helpful. Some examples:
* "No such Launchpad account: foo" /launchpad. net/~foo" /launchpad. net/~foo"
* "Launchpad user foo does not have a registered ssh key: https:/
* "You ssh key does not match any key registered for Launchpad user foo: https:/
The permission error for branch access should also be improved (as previously mentioned on bug 33223.
* "You cannot write to branch ~foo/bar/baz because you are not foo: https:/ /launchpad. net/~foo" /launchpad. net/~foo"
* "You cannot write to branch ~foo/bar/baz because you are not a member of foo: https:/
