Illegal sftp packet lens 34527

Has anyone received this error message "Illegal sftp packet lens 34527"? Basically, I was transferring files from my desktop to my sftp, and suddenly, the folder into which I had been transferring the files was blank. I verified that the files have not been deleted from my off-site network drive, but I am unable to "see" the files in the folder when I log into Cyberduck. Any ideas on how I can clear up this error message and get back to my files in this Cyberduck folder?

Hi,

I had a similar problem but is was not Cyberduck specific.

When I tried to sftp on the command line I found this issue:

"Received message too long"

Searching for answers to this problem led to me discovering that I had something in one of my startup script on the server I was trying to connect to that was returning characters. I think it was something I'd added to my .bashrc file. Which I subsequently moved to my .bashrc_profile file and all seems to work well now.

I hope this helps you uncover your issue.
