Folder name problem

This problem has just started and we are baffled why.

We use the GUI side of WINSCP. When we try to create a folder, nothing happens, the folder is not created. When we then come out of WINSCP and go back in, there is a new folder in the level above, which is named after the parent folder + the new folder e.g.
we go into \code\temp and try to create a new folder called dave. We should then have a structure \code\temp\dave. However, the dave folder is not created, but when we go back into WINSCP there is a new folder called \code\tempdave

Does anyone know why this is happening??
TIA

Can you post a log file?

This definitely looks like a server-side bug. What's your SSH/SFTP server?

Can you find answer from log? I just know server platform is AIX.

It looks like it's OpenSSH. Try to file a bug report on their site.

Problem solved by changing host name, the previous host name should be a virtual host name.

FYI.
