could not start SFTP subsystem

[BarnumD]

I'm trying to run bolt script run bashcheck -n servername -u username -p from step 4. However, i'm getting could not start SFTP subsystem. I can't tell the error is coming from my local system or the remote. When I try to run bashcheck from the server itself it seems to run just fine.

My local computer is Windows 10, latest fall creators update. Bolt version 0.6.1. Remote is Ubuntu 16.

Hi @BarnumD. Thanks for trying the lab and bolt out. This sounds like an issue with uploading the file to the remote system over SSH. It's definitely worth tracking. If you could open the issue against bolt itself at https://github.com/puppetlabs/bolt/issues that would be appreciated. If you could also run the command with --debug and include the output? That should give some more hints to the problem.

This might be fixed with https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/BOLT-225. Any chance you've tried again with a recent version of Bolt (0.9+)?
