While dvc pulling from a remote SSH, this error was raised:

"Error: failed to download file <filename> to <directory>... Garbage packet received"

Dang, @ericmjl , sad to hear that the error still exists; I’m unable to reproduce it, making it really hard to debug 😕

I’ll leave this issue open for future references.

Thanks for reporting it, @ericmjl , if you find any error or inconvenience, don’t hesitate to open an issue or ping us at our Discord server 😃

@ericmjl , we changed the way dvc communicates with the SSH remote, now dvc uses SFTP; I hope that it solves the problem, would you mind to confirm? I couldn’t replicate the issue with the latest version 😃
