Virtual Directories Show Full Path

[geoffb]

Hi,
I have a 'company official' folder which contains a large number of subdirectories, and which internal users may add new folders to over time.
I don't want clients to see all these folders, so I set up an empty directory called 'null', and mapped that to a virtual company folder:
/opt/wftpserver/FTP_DATA/null/ --> /Company_Official [ permissions R L ]
I then added one subfolder:
/opt/wftpserver/FTP_DATA/Company_Official/Utils/ --> /Company_Official/Utilities [ permissions R L ]

This all seems to work correctly in the web interface.
When I access this via an SFTP client, it appears that Wing FTP is sending a full path for the second virtual folder.
For example, if I use a command line client:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP>WinSCP.com
winscp> open sftp.company.com
Searching for host...

winscp> ls
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root          4096 Feb  2 11:03:33 2018 /Company_Official
D---------   0                           0              ..
winscp> cd /Company_Official
/Company_Official
winscp> ls
drwxr-xr-x  23 root     root          4096 Sep 27 17:08:08 2016 /Company_Official/Utilities
D---------   0                           0              ..
winscp>

Note that the directory listing doesn't show the correct folder name 'Utilities', it instead shows '/Company_Official/Utilities'.
How do I set this up so that it is less confusing for users? Normal directories show correctly, it just seems to be virtual mappings which are the problem.

Yes, that's an issue really, we will fix it in the next release.

Thanks - let me know if I can provide any other info to help highlight the issue, and we'll look forward to the fix!

Actually, I see a release from yesterday, 5.06, does this contain the fix? It has one item which looks similar:

Fixed a bug - SFTP server returns the incorrect file/folder names for the virtual folder which is placed under the subfolder

Note that we're on Linux, not sure if that makes a difference.

Yes, the new version fixed the issue you mentioned, just upgrade to the new version.
