Re: cURL uploads 0 length file for sftp transfer.

["ALbert via cygwin" <cygwin at cygwin dot com>]

I upgraded to the latest version curl 7.65.3 with libcurl 7.65.3, same issue.
curl 7.65.3 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl/7.65.3 OpenSSL/1.1.1c zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 libidn2/2.2.0 libpsl/0.21.0 (+libidn2/2.0.4) libssh/0.8.7/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.37.0
Thanks.

 We recently upgraded cURL from version:curl 7.50.3 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl/7.50.3 OpenSSL/1.0.2j zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.29 libpsl/0.14.0 (+libidn/1.29) libssh2/1.7.0 nghttp2/1.14.0tocurl 7.64.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) libcurl/7.65.3 OpenSSL/1.1.1c zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 libidn2/2.2.0 libpsl/0.21.0 (+libidn2/2.0.4) libssh/0.8.7/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.37.0
Since the upgrade, we've seen problems uploading text files to sftp servers. Here's the call that we make:
curl--trace-ascii trace.txt -k sftp://<user>:<pass>@<server>/file.txt-T file.txt

On initial call, a 0-length file is uploaded, with successful return code. On immediate rerun, a full file is uploaded (if we wait few minutes, 0-length file will get uploaded). Below are the traces from initial and subsequent calls. We also tried using same version curl on a linux box, without any issues. We also downloaded latest version of curl from curl for Windows, "curl 7.65.3 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.65.3 OpenSSL/1.1.1c (Schannel) zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 WinIDN libssh2/1.9.0 nghttp2/1.39.2", and its also working correctly.
Unfortunately, the server we're uploading to belongs to a client, and we can't see if this is an issue on a server side. However, even if it was, why would linux curl and windows curl (from curl.haxx.se) would work correctly?
Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.
