sftp using the lcd command [1]

When I am connect via a sftp tab in xshell4 and i start changing my local directory it seems to stop working properly. Usually work on first command, if it is the full path though.

Example:


sftp:/home> lls

10/16/2015 05:08A <DIR> Temp
03/13/2011 08:36A <DIR> Users


sftp:/home> lpwd
Local directory is C:

sftp:/home> lcd Temp
Local directory is now C:

sftp:/home> lpwd
Local directory is C:

sftp:/home> lcd Users
Local directory is now C:

sftp:/home> lpwd
Local directory is C:

Program Ver. : Xshell 4

We have successfully duplicated the bug.

We plan on releasing a fix for this as soon as possible, but unfortunately it will be fixed in Xshell 5, not Xshell 4.

In Xshell 4, as a workaround, you can simply type lcd. Browser For Folder dialog box opens. Then you can navigate through folders in the window.
