Could not retrieve directory listing

5.0.7 beta (using ACCT)
during intial handshake WinSCP fires:
Error listing directory ':F:$ISP815'
Could not retrieve directory listing. Not changed, Posix cannot be accessed.

Then, pressing OK, the tree (left side) seems correct, but there are no files (right side)

The host is a Fujitzu BS 2000 server which uses EBCIDC coding; i'm quite sure it could be the reason of the error.

(btw Windows ftp lists files correctly)

Thanks for any hints.

Thanks for your post.

This issue is being tracked already:
https://winscp.net/tracker/49

Is it a big issue? Or could it be easely fixed?
Seems just? a problem in the initial exchange; the server can use ascii then and even Windows ftp.exe works...
Thank in advance for the support
ciao

It's about path format. Command line FTP clients do not care, because the end-user takes care of understanding path format. But GUI client has to understand it.

To avoid the ABCDIC issue listed here I'm trying to use directly the command line.
I hoped the -transfer on the GET command could make the trick, but with no success.

I'm sure the file exist in the default folder because I used copy/paste from the working Microsoft ftp script (i.e. type A get sx-liquidati-au)

C:\WinSCP>winscp /command "open ftp://isp:@128.1.1.19 -rawsettings ftpAccount=815" "get -transfer=ascii sx-pagati-au" "exit"
