PS datasets as directory-like and therefore not gettable.

Hi,
The problem we’re seeing is that making an SFTP connection to the mainframe is showing PS datasets as directory-like and therefore not gettable. I say directory-like because the file attribute is showing as a file (ls -anl) but it is behaving like a special file or directory (cd and pwd put it on the path). Attempting to ‘get’ the file fails.

Another account login can follow the exact same SFTP commands and will show the dataset as a file with no directory-like qualities.

Can you post what you are doing and what the results are?
Are you using any of the user exits?
