Check enabling fileinfo attributes on Windows - (FileInfo object has no attribute XXX error)

[hakaishi]

OS: Windows 10 64 bit Python: 3.8.4 (64 bit) ssh2-python: 0.23.0 Code snippet:

res = connection.session.scp_recv2(file)
print(res[1], dir(res[1]))
with open(join(destination_, file_), "wb+") as f:
    size = 0
    while True:
        siz, tbuff = res[0].read()
        if siz < 0:
            print("error code:", siz)
            res[0].close()
            break
        size += siz
        if size > res[1].st_size:
            sz = res[1].st_size - size
            f.write(tbuff[:sz])
        else:
            f.write(tbuff)
        if size >= res[1].st_size:
            res[0].close()
            break
utime(join(destination_, file_), (res[1].st_atime, res[1].st_mtime))

print result:

No such trouble under Ubuntu (python 3.8.5 though)

Only st_size and st_mode are supported by libssh2 on Windows due to Windows limitations.

[hakaishi]

okay... paramiko does not have this limitation.

Are you speaking generally? SSH2 does support it using SFTP. Using stat/fstat gives me atime/mtime etc even under Windows.

No one seems to mention that SSH2 does not support mtime etc. when running on Windows, are you really sure about this?

[pkittenis]

If I recall correctly the compiler on windows did not understand the types libssh2 uses for those attributes. This may have been an old compiler for python 2.

Needs retesting on windows.
