sftp server connection dropped while uploading using bzr-upload

[Jonathan Koay]

Using Windows XP, and Bazaar 1.12 with paramiko 1.7.4.

While uploading using bzr-upload, sftp server connection dropped. Not very familiar with Bazaar, first time user. Suspect it's something to do with server (GoDaddy) connection dropping while transferring files halfway. Any settings can I set so that it auto resume if connection dropped?

The following is the error message.

bzr: ERROR: paramiko.SSHException: Server connection dropped:

There actually no solution to address a server dropping the connection (especially in the middle of a write operation :-/).

There is a work in progress to allows uploads to be journalled and resumed though, but nothing usable so far.

Was the journal functionality ever completed? Currently for large uploads to GoDaddy servers (which have a penchant for dropping connections) I tend to figure out the files that need to be uploaded and do it manually. Then I edit the .bzr-upload.revid file an put in the ID of the relevant revision manually. Always tricky because I have to make sure to set it to not have line-endings, etc.

Any progress on this since 2010?
