For list of reasons WinSCP cannot parse directory listing and possible resolutions, see documentation.

Re: Error Listing directory

WinSCP needs group name in directory listing. Please read Requirements. You may try SFTP instead of SCP.

Error Listing directory

Hello,
I have been having a heck of a time using FTP, so a colleage suggested I try WinSCP. I have installed it and I am running into the following error message when trying to connect:
Unexpected directory listing line "-rw-r--r--   1 mediimage             43690 Oct  6 01:23 100027.gif".

Operation aborted


Just an FYI, the directory it is trying to list has over 17,000 files (not sure if that is an issue here).

I am copying over 300 more files (approximately 12 Meg). When I leave logging on, the copy works (with logging I get a reading direcotry error). After copying I get the same error when trying to display the directory. Any suggestions?
