Cannot open a folder if NAME is identical to parent folder

2011-01-17 18:57

It appears this is a bug. One Cannot open a folder if the folder NAME is identical to parent folder name.

For example I cannot open this folder:
...\InstallMedia\InstallMedia\

-I can open the folder fine when using Windows built in FTP.
-If I rename the child folder I can open it.
-Also If I rename the parent folder, I can open the child folder.

------------
WinSCP Version 4.2.9 Build 938

Hi Martin,
I've replied to your email with the debug file. It seems to work with the files you gave me.

The problem seems to lay with my old INI file.

It works as long as I don't use my previous INI file. If I allow your 2 new files you sent me to create a new INI file, and then choose to save the password it will work.

From the log it looks like it may be connected to directory change cache (which is stored in the INI file). If it ever happens again, please let me know.
