Rob's right that some GUI clients incorrectly insist on parsing the unix style long listing for their operation. Most command line clients follow the standard correctly and PuTTY by itself works fine. As he mentions however, some clients that are built on the PuTTY codebase fail to follow the standard.
This section of our user's guide discusses the common issues that can occur and suggests possible solutions: http://www.dovetail.com/docs/sftp/client-compat.html In particular, in release 2.3.0 we added the "unixls" option to help mitigate the worst offenders. --Steve Goetze Dovetailed Technologies www.dovetail.com On Fri, May 17, 2013 at 9:53 AM, Rob Schramm <[email protected]> wrote: > CA-ESP has no ongoing support for it.
