SSH Problems Under Windows XP
Q. I am using Windows XP and every time I try and upload a file,
I get the error, "Failed to scan directories. Error 6: ...
No such file or directory". How do I correct this problem?
Answer:
SSH Secure FTP has a known problem with a default setting in Windows XP.
When file extensions for known file types are hidden, uploads will
fail. Known file types include Microsoft Word documents (with the
extension .doc), and text files (with the extension .txt). There is a
workaround for this problem.
- Click on Start -> My Computer
- Select Tools menu -> Folder Options
- Select the View tab
-
Uncheck the 'Hide file extensions for known file types' checkbox.
- Click Apply
- Click Ok
You can also copy and paste files into the SSH Secure FTP window or
drag and drop files into the SSH Secure FTP window if you do not wish
to use the above workaround.
