Issues with winscp using ftp/tsl

I am having issues with winscp using ftp/tsl. I think the issue is that the vendor I am connecting with, is using a separate data port than a control port. They do not support sftp nor secure copy.

Following is my log file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem actually is that WinSCP does not support Windows paths on the server side. It expect the path to start with slash, otherwise it considers it to be a local path.

This issue has been added to tracker.

I am experiencing the same issue. Are there plans to address this and if so, any target date available?

Not yet, sorry.
