I'm calling client.PutFile() as follows:

this.client.PutFile(fileName, remoteFile);

where

 fileName = "./testResources/someFile.txt"

I'm on a Mac, so forward-slashes make sense. However, the call produces the following error:

Error: System.InvalidOperationException: Local item doesn't exist.
at Rebex.IO.LocalItem.dkiut()
at Rebex.IO.LocalItem.get_Length()
at mupjf.nsbcv.fukyt(TransferAction p0, String p1, String p2, Char[] p3)
at Rebex.Net.Sftp.kabfl(TransferAction p0, String p1, String p2)
at Rebex.Net.Sftp.PutFile(String localPath, String remotePath)

If I switch the slashes to back-slashes as follows:

fileName = ".\testResources\someFile.txt"

there's no failure. Is this a bug?

Applies to: Rebex FTP/SSL

Hi,

I tried this on MacOS on Mono 6.0.6 and .NET Core 2.1 and forward slashes work for me as expected.

What platform are you running your application? What version of our component are you using? What do you get if you call File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Open) with the fileName with forward-slashes?

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm using the 5.0.7501 version of the Rebex library with .NET Core 3.1 and Mono 6.10.0 Stable (bundled with the latest Visual Studio for Mac). File.Open with forward slashes works perfectly fine. This is part of a cross-platform CLI application that manages ETL activities with about 70% test coverage; we open, write, delete files and manipulate paths with forward-slashes all the time within the codebase, so this was unexpected.

Hi Stephen, can you provide a snippet of code that reproduces the issue? Perhaps we were doing something differently.
