Apache VFS SFTP moveTo command fails

I am using Apache vfs sftp to copy a file to remote linux box and then rename it. copy works fine, but when i try to rename the file, it fails. I am using vfs 2.0 and jsch 0.1.50

Source(remoteFileTmp)       : /tmp/abc.txt
Destination(remoteFileDest) : /home/myName/work/abc.txt

Command that I used is as below:

remoteFileTmp.moveTo(remoteFileDest);

The exception that i get is as below:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException: Could not rename "sftp://hostname/tmp/abc.txt" to "sftp://hostname/home/myName/work/abc.txt".

    at org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.AbstractFileObject.moveTo(AbstractFileObject.java:1102)
    ... 2 more

Directory /home/myName/work exists.

Note: when i try to move (rename) files in the same folder it works fine. i.e for the below input rename is succesfful.

source = /tmp/abc.txt
destination = /tmp/abc.txt_renamed

So is it that it supports rename only within the same directory?

This is caused by one of the open issues in the Apache VFS library when doing moveTo over SFTP :-(

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-590

and this
