I think I found the issue while examining the logs. It seems 4.1 doesn't unalias "ls" which I have aliased to 'ls --color' in my shell profile. 4.07 shows the unalias "ls" command in the log (I've put some context around the 'ls' line):

Sure, you are right. Thanks!

I think I found the issue while examining the logs. It seems 4.1 doesn't unalias "ls" which I have aliased to 'ls --color' in my shell profile. 4.07 shows the unalias "ls" command in the log (I've put some context around the 'ls' line): 

unalias "cd" ; echo "WinSCP: this is end-of-file:$status"

unalias: no such hash table element: cd

WinSCP: this is end-of-file:1

unalias "ls" ; echo "WinSCP: this is end-of-file:$status"

WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0

unalias "groups" ; echo "WinSCP: this is end-of-file:$status"

unalias: no such hash table element: groups


There is no 'unalias "ls"' line in the 4.1 log.

I'll post the difference between listings with and without colour as shown in the logs.

Error listing directory - escape codes issue?

After upgrading from 4.0.7 to 4.1beta I encountered a problem listing directories on a specific system. The error I get is this: 

Error listing directory '/home/user'.



Unexpected directory listing line 'total 171492'..

Invalid rights description '[0mtotal '


I'm wondering if this relates to escape codes in my shell's prompt or escape codes for a coloured directory listing. I would guess the former since the total appears on the first line and isn't coloured.

It could also relate to the preexec() and precmd() lines I have set in zsh to set the contents of the terminal program's title bar.

Anyhow, it's not a problem in 4.0.7.
