Re: Could not change directory... Starts in "/"

I see more issues in the log. So I'm not sure which one you ask about. Is it about you specifying initial directory /home/web, yet starting in /? I can only see that your server rejects a change to that directory:

> 2014-07-26 23:05:05.799 CWD /home/web
< 2014-07-26 23:05:05.882 550 Failed to change directory.


Are you sure the path is correct? Can you attach a log showing how you enter the directory from GUI?
orabrush

Could not change directory... Starts in "/"

Using latest WinSCP
Windows 7 Ultimate
FTP w/ SSL
Using GUI: Commander
To reproduce, all I do is connect to my server on port 21 and it asks me for the users password and I give it.
I have a log:

I will delete the log after the problem is solved.

For some reason, this keeps happening and I am using passive mode...

Thanks in advance
