SSH Error 8: undefined error when uploading files to webspace or homespace

SSH Error 8: undefined error (server msg: 'Failure') when uploading files via ssh to network home space or web space

Symptom
When using the SSH secure file transfer client, the upload fails with the error 8 message.

Cause
There is not enough space available in the network home or webspace for the file you are trying to upload. 

Solution
Check your network home space or web space disk usage from the campus portal.  Log into http://my.ringling.edu and select "Account manager".  Review "Home Space Usage" or "Web Space Usage' depending on where you are attempting to ssh upload your files.

If your space is full, clean up files that no longer need to be online or request additional space by starting a "Tech Support" case via the campus portal, my.ringling.edu.
