Re: Error listing directory '/'. Could not retrieve directory listing

Can you retrieve a directory listing using any other FTP client? (running on the same machine as WinSCP, using the same credentials)

Error listing directory '/'. Could not retrieve directory listing

Hi All,
we are getting below error message when we tried to access FTPs through WINSCP.

Error listing directory '/'
Could not retrieve directory listing
The user name or password is incorrect.

in the logs we noticed that connection has been established. while starting session & reading remote directory it throws above error message. Have verified all the ports open at Firewall end. Below are WinScp logs. Please help.
