lord xeon

it looks like it was a server issue, because I restarted it to fix something else, and now it seems to work alright.

I will let you know if it happens again though.

Re: Error showing / directory

Thanks. Can you try it with another SFTP client?

Error showing / directory

I can login to my server fine as root, user1, user2, user37... and I get sent to each user's directory. However whenever I try to navigate to / I get:
Host is not communicating for more then 15 seconds. Still waiting...

Here is the log file from root:

I also have a regular user, but that log looks the same, except I change 2 more directories before I get to /.
