Why reconnect after trying to enter inaccessible directory?

When I try to enter an inaccessible directory, I get the choice to disconnect or to retry, but I just want to go on working, without having to disconnect.. Is that possible or is it one of the drawbacks of the use of the SCP protocol?

TIA

Please post a log file.

Try to specify /bin/bash on Shell tab of login dialog.
