ftp works, sftp fails?

[f_1_j]

Sorry for the cross-post (also posted under Client-General), not sure which is more appropriate.

Whenever I try to transfer files using sftp, the RETR command omits the last slash between the directory and the file name.

An example of the difference is shown in the FTP and SFTP sessions below.

I had the problem using the latest stable version, so also tried the beta version 2.1 build 1570 and had the same issue. I used the quick connect in both cases and most (all?) the defaults.

Any ideas?

TIA

Following a work-around from a different posting, I was able to get this working by using the 'putty compatible sftp' setting.

Same problem with me, as this other guy. FTP works, but SFTP removes the slash between the directory name and file name, so the FTP server says file not found. Checking the "Putty" box fixed it.

Seems like this bug should have been repaired by now, it was reported here over six months ago!

From the log:
RETR /home/stvbackup.tar.gz
Server error: No such file or folder

Note, that should be /home/stv/backup.tar.gz -- missing a slash.

where can I see that putty box that you are referring?
I'm encountering the same problem.

thanks..
