Re: Unexpected directory listing line

There's a prompt ([root@host /]# ) in front of every command output. WinSCP cannot cope with that.
This is possibly due to your environment (variable). If you find out what it is, make sure it is set only for interactive sessions.
See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/requirements#remote_environment
Let me know if you resolve this.

Here is the log (attached).

Re: Unexpected directory listing line

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

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. 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.

Unexpected directory listing line

I get this error when I try connecting by SCP:
Unexpected directory listing line '[root@host /]# total 96'.

If I do a ls -la in PuTTY, I get: 
[root@pitoms /]# ls -la

total 96
