My Frustration With ChatGPT Continues

I have given it several programming problems that it asked me enough questions to solve. I requested a program to produce gCode to produce a particular hole pattern in a 6" high hexagon.  Itctook a couple tries to understand what I needed, but it managed.

Attempting to get it to make Windows 11 provided sftp server support remains beyond it.  After four hours fighting OPENSSH,  going in the same circles repeatedly,  I asked if there were any commercial or free sftp servers for Windows 11.  There were.  None of them actually work.  Each time one failed, it would suggest another that does not work.

I really cannot fault it with respect to Microsoft OpenSSH.  It is a very complex disaster with more layers of permission requirements for file access and user name and group than makes sense.   The previous way it kept trying to find some sftp server was very gratifying, but at some point, it needs to recognize that there seems to be no Windows 11 solution.  (Even attempting to run aside under Windows Subsystem for Linux was a failure.)
