Question:

SFTP file not found error even when using correct realpath path, Why?

Jun 11 '14 at 14:36

I am getting a file not found error. The Realpath(".","") returns null and sometimes "/" but not ".". It works for other users on the same SFTP server however it fails for this one. The "/test/Monthly_files_012014/test.mat" is the correct path however it seems to be substituting "./test/Monthly_files_012014/test.mat". Why would this not work? I have tried both 9.1.2 and 9.5.0.39 chilkatDontNet2 versions and both DownloadFileByName and OpenFile-DownloadFile methods.

C# code:
  _sftp.RealPath(ftpf.SourcePath + "/" + ftpf.FileName,"")
produces:
  "/test/Monthly_files_012014/test.mat"

C# code:
success = _sftp.DownloadFileByName(_sftp.RealPath(ftpf.SourcePath + "/" + ftpf.FileName,""), destfilepath);

Produces the below error:
