No files on remote server "550 invalid path"

I downloaded the latest version of SmartFTP today (3.0.1026.18) and so I have the very latest version. The FTP server I am connecting to operates perfectly well with the DOS FTP CLIENT using commands like DIR, CD, MKDIR, etc. Why won't SmartFTP work?

PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!

You have to remove the [x] Show All Files and [x] Resolve Symbolic Links options in the favorite properties:
1. Menu: Favorites->Edit Favorites
2. Look for your favorite (Quick Connect folder)
3. Right-click on it and select Properties
4. Go to the FTP->Transfer dialog
5. Uncheck the [x] Show All Files and [x] Resolve Symbolic Link Options

This will remove the -aL arguments from the LIST command your server does not like.

Mat

OH - it looks like I have for myself a learning curve to go through. that worked. Thank you much for the kick-start!
