Tim, All, This is an error I mentioned earlier, that will need to be fixed for R14. tdeio opens sftp connections fine, but is not closing them. That means for every remote sftp call (i.e. opening/browsing each folder) a separate sftp process is opened, but never closed. The errors when browsing a remote folder look like: tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. svn_cmdline_init done [tdeinit] Got EXT_EXEC 'kwrite' from launcher. [tdeinit] Got EXEC_NEW 'tdeio_sftp' from launcher. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: KSshProcess::version(): pclose failed. tdeio_sftp: ERROR: sftpRead: read failed with code 1 The result is you have numerous sftp processes left open. This was just a quick open and save a screeenshot on host:nirvana and a quick open/browse tde folder on host:phoinix, but I now have the following sftp processes running on my box: 1131 ?

What additional debug information can be captured? I opened the following bug as a blocker for R14: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1902 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
