That (dir still showing the unchanged path) may have something to dowith "cd" being an internal comand of PHP Shell. As far as I know you donot really change to the directory but just tell PHP Shell where youwant the next comand to be executed.That is because the connection to PHP / the web server is not persistent(every comand you submit via PHP Shell will start a new task which doesnot know how the one before finished his work).

After some experimentation, changing $_SESSION['cwd'] to chdir() andgetcwd() depending on what I need seems to work outIt will now recognize the current directory but commands like 'dir'still give me the system32 (probably has something to do with cmd.exebeing in system32)

    I'm sorry but I do not have a clue what the problem might be
    caused by, so I will not be able to help you... sorry for that!

    Actually I am just subscribed to this list because I once used PHP
    Shell... but that was some years ago...

    I hope there's anybody else reading this who is more familiar with
    PHP Shell and/or Windows Servers and who is able to help you! Good
    look with that!

    Yes I am still subscribed ;)
    I have tried different methods such as

        cd /
        cd ..
        cd ../
        cd C:\
        cd C:
        cd C:/

        OK. Well then the problem must be caused by something else.

        I guess you tried using "cd .." serveral times instead of cd
        "C:\" to make sure it's not just a "syntax" problem?

        If you tried so without success, I hope Martin Geisler (the
        author of PHP Shell) can help you with that (as I do not have
        a clue what the problem might be caused by).

        @Martin Geisler
        I guess you are still subscribed to this mailing list?

        I am fairly sure that it has the ability to use the rights
        of the logged in user as the system32 directory is strictly
        off limits to the 'public' account

            I do not know if these Windows Web Servers access
            anything that the user they are running as is able to
            access, but if you run an Apache server you usually tell
            the server that he's not allowed to access files which
            are not in a special "public" folder. So if you run
            Apache with Linux as root (you normaly will not do that)
            and tell him not to access files which are not in
            /var/www/ (for example) or its subfolders, it is not
            able to change to / (which is usually simular to C:\)
            (even though root is able to access any files).

            As far as I know, PHP Shell is not able to access all
            the files that the user is able to access but just those
            the Web Server allows it to access (unlike a normal ssh
            etc.).

            Or did I just misunderstand your question?

            If I start with homedir as C:\

                Current Working Directory: |C:\|

$ cd ./inetpubCurrent Working Directory: |C:\/./inetpub||||$ ls||||[list of files in C:\windows\system32 shows up]|||

            |C:\ and all directories under it are accessible by the
            authenticated user running PHP shell (running as admin
            by NTLM authentication)|

                Did you try whether "cd .." works or not?
                And is C:\ accessable for PHP? [inside DocumentRoot
                for Apache Servers]
                I never tried using PHP Shell on an Windows
                Server... but that of course does not mean it will
                not work...

                I have installed phpshell 2.1 according to the
                INSTALL file and have successfully created a user
                and run it
                It is currently running on Windows Server 2003 R2
                and IIS 6
                However, I cannot use the cd command to change
                directory:

                    $ cd C:\
                    chdir() [<a

                    error (errno 0)
                    cd: could not change to: C:\/C:\

PHP is not in safemode and the process running PHP
