Re: Error getting name of current remote directory

Response to PWD command starts with FTP status code, as any other FTP response.
According to a spec, 550 means "Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)".
For details refer to RFC 959:

Re: Error getting name of current remote directory

Sorry, I should have noticed this already in your initial post. Your server responds with error code 550 to PWD request. WinSCP cannot deal with that. It needs to know what is your current working directory to allow navigation. It's actually not strictly needed for command-line interface. But WinSCP is primarily GUI client.

Re: Error getting name of current remote directory

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, use /log=path_to_log_file command-line argument. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.
