Mr. Eisele,

Localized Outlook / Exchange needs to die. AW: VS: RE: SV: to you, too.

You need to stop top-posting and quoting entire messages.

There is. You have the source code; why don't you add those features
if you need them.

Indeed!

In my opinion, what the sftp server supports at this time was what the
designers thought it would need. If somebody feels otherwise, they
are free to modify and extend the code to suit their needs.

If you are implying that somebody should do this work for you, then I
would hazard a guess that the maintainers of OpenSSH could be tempted
to think about it for a suitable monetary compensation, and if it is
the case that you would like SSH Comm Sec Corp to do this for their
version instead, they are, after all, a business so I would imagine
you could pay them to do it.

Not to discourage you, but for the record, it should be said that we
have attempted to do this with SSH Corp for real AFS support in ssh2.
They simply aren't interested and we didn't even get to the point of
discussing the "how much?" part.
