As you can see in the log, it is bug of the server.

Can you post a log file showing the problem?

When trying to create a directory in a file system on an AIX 5L the directory is created one level up from the directory you are in and has the current directory name as the start of the new directory.

Eg if you are in test and try to create a directory data you get a directory called testdata above the test directory.

I have tried this in 4.05 4.06 and now 4.07 releases in both norton and explorer interfaces. :(

The protacol used was

Session protocol = SSH-2
SSH implementation = OpenSSH_3.7.1p2-pwexp26_krb5
Encryption algorithm = aes
Compression = No
File transfer protocol = SFTP-3
------------------------------------------------------------
Server host key fingerprint
ssh-rsa 1024 85:b1:86:81:46:72:85:ae:5f:b4:3a:44:1f:2a:91:85
------------------------------------------------------------
Can change permissions = Yes
Can change owner/group = No
Can execute arbitrary command = No
Can create symlink/hardlink = Yes/No
Can lookup user groups = No
Can duplicate remote files = No
Can check available space = No
Can calculate file checksum = No
Native text (ASCII) mode transfers = No
------------------------------------------------------------
Additional information
The server does not support any SFTP extension.


When I try the same thing when connected to a redhat ent 3 machine which mounts the same file system everything works as it should????? :)
