Will send you a debug version.

Just curious, why this was working in all previous versions then suddenly stop to work? Introduction of a new feature maybe?

Correct. Synchronized browsing in 4.2.5 works even when changing to different directory branch in one step.

Re: synchronised browsing bug

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

synchronised browsing bug

I have recently upgraded to 4.2.5 from (I think) 4.1.x

Synchronised browsing no longer seems to work correctly. For example, I have the local directory set to C:\Work\SiteName\www and the remote directory set to /var/www/html/sitename

The contents of those two directories are identical.

Turning on synchronised browsing, with the local and remote directories set to those given above, and then attempting to browse to C:\Work\SiteName\www\docroot (for example) I get the following message:

Error changing directory to '/var/www/html/www/docroot'
Cannot get real path for '/var/www/html/www/docroot'
No such file or directory.
Error code: 2
Error message from server: No such file


Obviously, it should be trying to change to '/var/www/html/sitename/docroot' not '/var/www/html/www/docroot' - it replaces 'sitename' with 'www', and that is the bug I want to report.

I have tried various different paths in the "Directories" section of the session setup screen but to no avail. Clearly WinSCP is mapping the directories incorrectly, and it didn't do this before.
