Error changing directory with SFTP and WINNT users

Hi,

When checking the Winnt checkbox, with the correct base directory set to:
C:\SecureTransfer\

Logging in with WinSCP produces an error indicating:
Error changing directory to '/C:/SecureTransfer/<username>'

Note that <username> is the actual username used.

It appears that / is being prepended to the base directory path incorrectly.

The directory needs to exist. If running the service with the system account (or a different Windows account than the one that created the directory), this can cause user denied issues too.
