FTPCD command fails on SFTP connection to Kronos server
The FTPCD command may fail on an SFTP connection to a Kronos server. The error message may look like this:
*Unable to change directory on FTP site. [1157]
Workarounds
This problem is due to the server's non-standard SFTP implementation but there are two ways to successfully work around the problem using Robo-FTP. One is to use the full remote path with the FTPCD command so instead of this:
FTPCD "subfldr"
Use this syntax instead:
FTPCD "/rootfldr/subfldr"
A second workaround option is to install Robo-FTP Version 3.9 or later and use the /allowerrors option on the FTPLOGON command line.
