period character in remote path

On my remote server, I can access the same location at both of the following paths.

/test/.myfolder/
/test/myfolder/

I don't know much about this server, I'm not an admin, just need to automate file uploads.

When I try uploading files to /test/myfolder/ I will occasionally get the following error.

Real path and requested remote path do not match:
"/test/.myfolder/"
"/test/myfolder/"

So I try uploading files to /test/.myfolder/ and again I will occasionally get the same error.

I've tried to isolate what causes the error but with no luck. The error occurs randomly as far as I can tell. It doesn't matter if I include the period in the remote path or not. It works sometimes with both paths, and it fails sometimes with both paths.

Could this be a bug or limitation in winscp or is there something funky happening on my remote server?

Can you attach a log file for both scenarios (success and failure)?

Logs Attached.

Thank you for the help!

Thanks for the logs.

Well, as you can see yourself, the server behaves rather erratically. I'm not sure what I can do about it.

Okay, thanks for looking. I coded to retry on the alternative path if the initial attempt fails and have had zero issues. Is strange but at least it works.
