May I get a test account on your server?

SFTP works fine, I also tried disabling "Try to get full timestamp" option and it works too, but still, when executing shell commands that results with error I sometime get strange error messages, like "Error getting name of current remote directory" instead of actual error.
Also, when I connect to that server using PuTTY and manually executing
ls -la --full-time ; echo "WinSCP: this is end-of-file:$?"
I always get output in right order

Re: No directory listing on some servers

Next version of WinSCP will allow you to turn off using --fule-time. However I'm not sure if it helps in your case.
BTW, have you tried using SFTP?

No directory listing on some servers

When I connect to some servers I sometime don't get directory listing, as I understand it is happening because these servers don't support --full-time option on ls command and WinSCP
can't detect that. This is log when I get directory listing:
. 2009-01-30 02:18:32.046 Listing current directory.
> 2009-01-30 02:18:32.046 ls -la --full-time ; echo "WinSCP: this is end-of-file:$?"

This is log when I don't get listing on same server:
. 2009-01-30 02:18:10.765 Listing current directory.
