Hi, Jeremy, thanks for the report (and trying out dput-ng)

Sorry for the hickup, let's see what's going on here.

I believe this has been a problem since we added SFTP support, FWIW

     ^^^^^

     This is true :)


 SFTP is an odd little protocol -- and old dput (which didn't have
 proper SFTP support) must have not handled this right, since tracking
 down $HOME over SFTP isn't easy or really correct to do.

 In general, SFTP should put you in what it thinks it "$HOME", so
 perhaps removing "~" will work.

 It'd be nice for someone to research what dput-old does, but this is
 now on the menu again.
