Wrong path for commands (chroot problem?)

Hi there,

I want my users (a few of them) to be able to use the custom commands in Winscp. Their shell is set to /bin/bash.
When i want to unzip a file via WinSCP it always produces a "no such file or directory" because it seems to set the wrong path.

For example, the users home directory is "/var/customers/webs/web3/"
I want to unzip the file test.zip in the directory uploads
The custom command for that is "unzip !"
When I execute the command, WinSCP cds into the folder "uploads", but instead of using "cd uploads" it tries "cd /uploads" which of course produces an error.

What can I do? Where does WinSCP get the foldername "/uploads" from?

Re: Wrong path for commands (chroot problem?)

Please post a full log file showing the problem.

To generate log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. For posting extensive logs you may use pastebin or similar application. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you may email it to me. You will find my address (if you log in) in my forum profile. Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have emailed the log.
