Upload file fails when account has no LIST permission

2018-03-15 19:31

Hello,

I have been encountering an issue with WINSCP since our provider has changed their FTP server to no longer allow LIST for our accounts. I have tried with both WinSCP.com and WinSCP GUI, and run into issues.
Error Messages:
(GUI)

---------------------------
Error

Error listing directory '/'.

Could not retrieve directory listing
Access is denied.

OK   Help   
---------------------------

Through an interactive command line, I get the error, but am allowed to retry which will usually work within the next 3 retries.:

When I upload using a different client (FileZilla) using the same account, credentials and file, I am able to upload the file successfully (although it does complain about not being able to LIST)

Here is a detailed log from WinSCP:

Is there a set of options I can use to work around this issue, and have WinSCP consistently work (especially via a script)?

Re: Upload file fails when account has no LIST permission

I have no idea what does the server mean by "The specified network name is no longer available."
Nor I see any relation of your upload problem to the "no LIST permission".

Did you consult this with the server administrator? Is there anything useful in the FTP server log file?
