SFTP question

I do this, apparently successfully.
Code:
v:\> iftp /v sftp://vefatica:********@vefatica.net

v:\> iftp
vefatica.net/H:/anonymous/
The server's log shows
Code:
[02] Tue 24Oct17 19:31:56 - (000008) Connected to 72.230.84.150 (local address 72.230.84.150, port 22)
[03] Tue 24Oct17 19:31:56 - (000008) IP-Name: zz.twcny.rr.com (72.230.84.150)
[02] Tue 24Oct17 19:31:56 - (000008) User "vefatica" logged in

But I can't do anything
Code:
v:\> dir sftp:

TCC: (Sys) The system cannot find the file specified.
 "sftp:/H:/anonymous/"
                   0 bytes in 0 files and 0 dirs

The directory exists and is not empty. Am I missing something?
 
It is in sharp contrast to FTP.
Code:
v:\> iftp ftp://vefatica:********@vefatica.net

v:\> iftp
vefatica.net/H:/anonymous

v:\> dir ftp:

I use TCC's SFTP every day to talk to the JP Software server.

Where are you getting the "H:" from?
H: is a local fixed drive. H:\anonymous is the server's (and my) home directory.
 
As I said before, it's OK with FTP but not with SFTP.
Code:
v:\> iftp ftp://vefatica:********@vefatica.net

v:\> iftp
vefatica.net/H:/anonymous

v:\> dir ftp:

 Directory of  ftp://vefatica.net/H:/anonymous/*

2017-08-14  23:35         <DIR>    .
2017-08-14  23:35         <DIR>    ..
2017-10-18  00:44         <DIR>    4plugins
2017-07-21  03:20         <DIR>    pmaddons
2014-08-08  00:00       3,657,325  arnex4.JPG
2012-07-17  00:00         109,138  MercOnSvcDesk.png
           3,766,463 bytes in 2 files and 4 dirs
 
I dunno! It's Serv-U, a pretty mature product. What is the standard format?

The DIR part is better, but this COPY fails sometimes.
Code:
v:\> iftp sftp://rexconn:*************@vefatica.net

v:\> dir ftp:

 Directory of  ftp://vefatica.net/*

2017-10-18  04:44         <DIR>    4plugins
2017-07-21  07:20         <DIR>    pmaddons
2014-08-08  00:00       3,657,325  arnex4.JPG
2012-07-17  00:00         109,138  MercOnSvcDesk.png
           3,766,463 bytes in 2 files and 2 dirs

v:\> copy "ftp:arnex4.JPG"
ftp://vefatica.net/arnex4.JPG/arnex4.JPG => V:\arnex4.JPG
TCC: Get file properties failed [2]: No such file. "/arnex4.JPG/arnex4.JPG"
     0 files copied       1 failed

That works with ordinary FTP.

And this (the first below, no credentials) always fails the first time. After there has been a successful SFTP connection, it succeeds without credentials.
I figured TCC would give the anonymous credentials when I don't specify any.
Code:
v:\> iftp sftp://vefatica.net
TCC: Cannot authenticate with provided credentials. The following authentication methods are available for this user: password,publickey. "vefatica.net"

v:\> iftp sftp://anonymous:[email protected]

v:\> iftp /c

v:\> iftp sftp://vefatica.net

v:\> iftp
vefatica.net/

v:\>[/code]
 
The DIR part is better, but this COPY fails sometimes.
Code:
v:\> iftp sftp://rexconn:*************@vefatica.net

v:\> copy "ftp:arnex4.JPG"
ftp://vefatica.net/arnex4.JPG/arnex4.JPG => V:\arnex4.JPG
TCC: Get file properties failed [2]: No such file. "/arnex4.JPG/arnex4.JPG"
     0 files copied       1 failed

That works with ordinary FTP.

Something is wrong with your SSH server. TCC is attempting to determine whether the argument you passed is a file or a directory. TCC tries to change directories to the argument. If it fails it's a filename; if it succeeds it's a directory. Your server says the directory change to "/arnex4.JPG" succeeded, so everything after that point is bollixed up.
 
Something is flaky. Here are the very same (exactly) commands I posted last night, when DIR succeeded and COPY failed.
Code:
v:\> iftp sftp://rexconn:***********@vefatica.net

v:\> dir ftp:

TCC: (Sys) The system cannot find the file specified.
 "ftp:/"
                   0 bytes in 0 files and 0 dirs

v:\> copy "ftp:arnex4.JPG"
ftp://vefatica.net/arnex4.JPG => V:\arnex4.JPG
     1 file copied
Today, DIR doesn't work and COPY does. And it's the same if I use the correct "sftp:".
Code:
v:\> iftp sftp://rexconn:************@vefatica.net

v:\> dir sftp:

TCC: (Sys) The system cannot find the file specified.
 "sftp:/"
                   0 bytes in 0 files and 0 dirs

v:\> copy "sftp:arnex4.JPG"
sftp://vefatica.net/arnex4.JPG => V:\arnex4.JPG
     1 file copied

The DIR succeeds if I use sftp:\* or ftp:\* instead of "sftp:" or "ftp:"
 
Here's ALL that happens when I issue "dir sftp:\*" (which is successful and shows 4 items).
Code:
[30] Sat 11Nov17 11:25:01 - (000094) {0x00000002} SSH_FXP_REALPATH: path: "/"
