Description
It apparrently is against the SFTP spec (but not the POSIX) to open a file with SSH_FXF_TRUNC without including SSH_FXF_CREAT.
Programs like OpenSSH server and sshfs ignore this little detail, though, and programs like "cp" fail if it is followed.
workaround: SFTP frontend should accept FXF_WRITE | FXF_TRUNC.
