Error listing directory "/" (Language problem)

Hi!

I get this message when logging in via SSH:

Error listing directory "/".
Unexpected directory listing line "insgesamt 3951".
Invalid rights description "nsgesamt "

This happens only on one of the systems I am using WinSCP with. Although it does not happen when logging in with PuTTY, it seems that the directory listing is germanized, that is it says:
insgesamt 3951
instead of:
total 3951

This happens with 2.2, I did not try 2.3 yet. I can probably switch to English and all works again, but I thought I´d mention this.


Oh, did I say that WinSCP ist cool? Thanks!
