SFTP Error on save.

[Chrisw01]

Hello, first time user but I like what I see so far, however I had an issue when I tried to save a file to a remote server I received an error of this, "Mkpath: path must be absolute" a quick search of Google lead me to your github page where I found the following code.

Code: Select all

if(!tmpPath.StartsWith("/")) {
         throw clException("Mkpath: path must be absolute");
     }

The problem with my setup was for the that I put in public_html/ instead of /home/user/public_html for the default folder causing the exception to be thrown. I don't know that I would actually call this a critical bug or not however if SFTP is wanting an absolute path then the configuration box should make you enter one.

Thanks

Hi Chris,
Can you describe the workflow? you mentioned:

Which one?

Hi, sure, would love to.

I created a new SFTP connection to my server and at first I put ~/public_html/ in the Default Folder box but that failed the connection test so I thought since when you log into a secure shell you're dumped into your home directory so I put in the Default Folder box public_html/ which passed the connection test and also downloaded the folder tree like it was supposed to, however since your code is checking for a beginning '/' when I attempted to save my changes to my server I received that error. I've since then have placed /home/user/public_html/ in the default box and all is working better now.
