#31 Change Directory button can cd only to some directories

[Ben Voris]

I use NppFTP 0.25 Unicode under Notepad++ 6.5.5 Unicode to connect to the Posix personality of an HP NonStop host via SFTP and FTP.

Connection goes fine and I see a view of my directory.

When I click on the Change Directory button the dialog opens. However, nothing happens with I enter either a relative (e.g., ../src) or absolute directory name (e.g., /home/src) and nothing happens.

However, with both SFTP and FTP, if I click on the root directory and wait for it to refresh, I then can use the Change Directory button to navigate to the absolute path.

With SFTP, even when the navigation works, nothing appears in the NppFtp output window.

With FTP, when I attempt to change directory from (for example) /home/user to /home/src, nothing appears in the output window. However, if use the GUI to go to root and then enter (for example) /home/src, the output window shows the cd to /home and the cd to /home/src.

The lack of any output in the output window when using the Change Directory button to move to an arbitrary directory is what makes me think this is a NppFTP problem.
