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'm using version 2.1 build 1570. I used the quick connect in both cases and most (all?) the defaults.
Any ideas?
TIA

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