In SFTP protocol the "current working directory" concept doesn't exist. You can open a directory using the OpenDirectory method, and you can get an absolute path to any directory using the RetrieveAbsolutePath method.
You can look at the example of working with SFTP client using the SFTPClient demo.

We can not do a "cd /etc" with your SFTPClient ?

You can do it by calling the OpenDirectory method with the needed path. For example, to get files list of the root directory (like cd ..) just execute the folowing code:
SFTPClient.OpenDirectory('..');

I would like to upload a text file in a Testing folder in the remote server.
This following code works well.
Code: Select all
sftp.OpenDirectory('Testing');
sftp.RetrieveAbsolutePath('Testing', rcNoCheck, list);
sftp.UploadFile('c:\temp\test.txt', 'Testing\test.txt', True);
Without calling
RetrieveAbsolutePath after
OpenDirectory the
UploadFile will be failed. Is this really the behaviour?

Hi There,
In fact, no.
The
RetrieveAbsolutePath,
OpenDirectory and
UploadFile methods is not modal, therefor they should NOT depend on each other. Thus, they can be called in any sequence, and it should not cause any fails.
Since you only need to upload a file, it’s enough to call only:
Code: Select all
ScSFTPClient.UploadFile([localpath\filename], [ftpserverpath\filename], True)
