1999	confusing error message when (S)FTP accounts file has malformed URL	zooko		"A user on IRC was setting up FUSE↔sshfs↔Tahoe-SFTP-server↔LAFS. He connected to the Tahoe-SFTP-server with the ""sftp"" client, issued the command ""ls"", and got this error message:
{{{
remote readdir(""/""): Permission denied
}}}
It finally turned out to be that the dir cap in his accounts file had a trailing ""/"" character on it. Removing that made the error message go away and the SFTP server start working. To close this ticket, make it so that the error message in a case like this gives the user a clue that something is wrong with the cap.

(This might actually be hard to accomplish, if there isn't a way to send back an arbitrary error message in the SFTP protocol in response to the SFTP client's ""ls"" command.)"	defect	new	normal	undecided	code-frontend-ftp-sftp	1.10.0		usability error
