Invalid flag -a when we try to listing datasets with v1.3.0

Post by blaser »

Wy try to listing datasets with the command "ls -la" but the response to this command is "invalid flag -a".
Our client is a VanDyke SecureCRT and we would get this listing information on a z/OS 1.10 system.
The normal listing command runs ok
sftp> ls -l

Thanks for your help

The message "invalid flag -a" looks like a message from the OpenSSH sftp client. Are you saying that you are getting this from the VanDyke client?

For the OpenSSH client, the -a flag is not supported. This applies to the IBM port and the Co:Z sftp version as well.
