you must have a newer version.

> The Windows sftp servers that I've used curl with do some really odd things. Odd at least to someone from a Unix background. Ipswitch's MoveIT server is the oddest. Do you know what sftp server software they're using?

no. didn't tell me. i heard wsftp. but i know that as a client not a server.

no.

i do. and i have permissions to delete.

no special characters. it's like date.zip

that's righ.
