Refusals

Answer When
path is the absolute path of the file on the server, from /. the path does not start with /
path names a folder; remote_load brings one file. the path ends with /
Cannot bring <path>: <reason> there is no such file or it cannot be read; Failure — the path leads to a folder
No file channel on <address>: <reason> the server did not open the file transfer channel (SFTP)
