1050	open with SSH_FXF_TRUNC without SSH_FXF_CREAT violates SFTP spec, but everyone does it anyway	bj0	bj0	"It apparrently is against the SFTP spec (but not the POSIX) to open a file with SSH_FXF_TRUNC without including SSH_FXF_CREAT.

workaround:
SFTP frontend should accept FXF_WRITE | FXF_TRUNC."	defect	closed	major	1.7.0	code-frontend-ftp-sftp	1.6.1	fixed	sftp standards sshfs
