Well, it's been a while, but I remember it crapping out when
transferring many files at once (SFTP).  I also got bitten by editing
a file in-place inside the server folder - it would not let me save
changes.  It is also much (~2X) slower to transfer than scp or
Filezilla.  I think that's about the point I threw in the towel.

Oh, if you want to see bug reports:
