Re: Running console commands

SCP/SFTP are usually bundled with SSH server. Which one are you using?

Thanks. Now Working.

Re: Terminal / Console does not recognise standard unix commands

With FTP you cannot use "shell" commands, only FTP commands. To use shell commands, you need to switch to SCP (or SFTP).

Terminal / Console does not recognise standard unix commands

I have WinSCP installed on more than one PC. When I open the termianl on one of them it does not recognise some commands e.g. ls or cd fail but pwd is OK. On another machine it is fine.

It looks like it converts it to uppercase (based on the error message) but the terminal appears to pass lower case to the remote machine.

I'm, using v4.0.4 build 346
My WinSCP (FTP) session to the same box is fine.
Putty does not work either, it opens a window but never akss for or passes the login credentials.

This is from the log:
