File does not exists, session.FileExists returns false even though file is exists into list

2019-12-30 17:05

When I tried with session.FileExists("test.txt"), this returns false even though the file shows when I execute session.ListDirectory("/").
I have attached my log. I am using vb.net.

winscp.log (22.21 KB)

Description: Log of Listing and file exists

Your server is broken. It claims support for MLSD/MLST commands. Yet then it fails, when WinSCP tries using MLST command to test the file existence:

< 2019-12-29 21:46:23.716 211 End.
...

< 2019-12-29 21:46:24.462 500 Unknow command

Try setting FtpUseMlsd to 1:

Let us know.
