    Default SFTP-SCP Login Error

    Hello all,

    When logging in with SFTP or SCP via WinSCP I get the following errors:

    Command 'groups'
    failed with return code 0 and error message
    job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
    shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
    job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory.

    Command 'pwd'
    failed with return code 1 and error message
    pwd: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory.

    However, all other domains and accounts work, no errors. I tried rebuilding the proftp conf file tried a few different things. The paths are fine, changing the password has no effect. It was working and now is not. As far as I can see, the directories have the proper permissions and there is no issue.

    Normal FTP works just fine tho.

    What could be the issue.

    Cheers

    I had a similar problem.

    This is how it was solved:

    root@server [~]# umount /home/virtfs/<user>/home/<user>/
