Why do I get a sftp time out error?

I am using the net-sftp gem to access a file in an sftp account. I am doing some bulk operations like copying more then 100 files from one sftp account to other but I am getting an error:

Net::SFTP::StatusException (4, "failure")

I think this is happening because of a session time out or buffer size limit? If that is the case, how do I increase the limit so that I can perform bulk operations for more than 100 files.

Here is the stack trace:

    Net::SFTP::StatusException (4, "failure")

These two lines say the code is timing out waiting for a rename:

"/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-sftp-2.0.2/lib/net/sftp/session.rb:845:in `wait_for'", 
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/net-sftp-2.0.2/lib/net/sftp/session.rb:589:in `rename!'",

which is occurring in your code:

"/home/xxxxx_user/prod/lib/tasks/xxxxx_rfa_intake.rake:72:in `move'",

For some reason the move is failing. In my experience that is either because the permissions are not right, or a drive is full, but there could be many other reasons too.

Because you didn't supply any source code that is as much help as I can give.
