I am on RHEL 9.8, and it looks like as of v.8.2, when I look at ~/wftpserver/Log/ssh_debug_log there is NOTHING but the following messages:

ssh_socket_exception_callback: Socket exception callback: 1 (0)

Can you advise? Thank you.

OK, so do you mean you can connect to the SFTP server successfully but see such log messages in ssh_debug_log? If so, please ignore it, or change the SFTP log level to "SSH_LOG_NOLOG".

System works fine as far as I can tell. However, I DO want information as I am doing a security analyis so I have it set to SSH_LOG_PROTOCOL. I would expect to see detailed data, but ALL I am seeing in the log is "ssh_socket_exception_callback: Socket exception callback: 1 (0)". I suspect something broke as of v.8.2 as this is seemingly when it started. Make sense?

No, it is a debug information only, and normally there is no need to turn on this option.

No... I NEED the debug information for security purposes / review. By setting SSH_LOG_PROTOCOL I would expect to see debug information like I used to.

OK, SSH_LOG_PROTOCOL is for the debug purpose when you encounter connection issue, it will generate a large log file and affect the SFTP server performance, so normally it is not recommend to enable it.

Anyway, you can enable the option if you expect to see debug information.

I don't think you read my feedback to you. There is NOTHING but the following messages:

ssh_socket_exception_callback: Socket exception callback: 1 (0)

... in the log. Hence the problem.

So do you understand the issue? The log has become meaningless as of 8.2, regardless of the log level.

Yes, you are correct, v8.2.0+ won't write the SSH debug logs, we will fix this issue in the next release. And you need to choose the option "SSH_LOG_PACKET" for the debug purpose.
