access wftpd e:\backup root

2013-08-23 14:02

Hi,

I have a problem accessing a wftpd server. The user of the ftp server has a root directory of E:\backup.
When i try to connect with winscp i get the message:

Could not retrieve directory listing
Unknown directory: /E:/BACKUP/E:/BACKUP

Then the program opens and shows en empty root directory.

Is there some trick to make it work ?

When using the program FileZilla the connection works as a charm.
I would quit using FileZilla if i could make this work.

thanks[/quote]

Please attach a full log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.
