date: illegal option -- c
I am running version 3.7.1 build 257 of WinSCP3. The server to which I am trying to connect will only accept SCP, all SFTP attempts are refused. From the log file I show that a connection is accepted, but disconnects when trying to do something with the date. The interface is set to Norton Commander and every combination of date settings in the program have been set and unset resulting in the same error. The SCP shell is manually set to /bin/bash. I have also tried version 1 and 2 of the SCP protocol. Searching the message board I found one other post by the author [HEJ] with a similar problem with the -c titled "How to go thru interactive ssh gw." Below is the bottom of my log file. It seems like a "-c" is being sent somehow and is disturbing the connection.
