Re: Cannot get real path for '.' ...sometimes

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

To generate log file, set Session.SessionLogPath. 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.

Hi,
I got the same problem.
The log file show me as follow :

Getting real path for '.'
...
Error getting name of current remote directory.

I am using .net component.
I hit this error when open the session
How can I define the remote directory before start the session?


Can anyone help me on this?

Hi all,

The strange thing with the following problem:
Everything is full automatic, most of the time it works...but sometimes it doesn't

When it works:

. 2012-07-31 10:00:04.664 Using SFTP protocol.
. 2012-07-31 10:00:04.664 Doing startup conversation with host.

. 2012-07-31 10:00:04.680 Startup conversation with host finished.
