Remote system is Toshiba 4690 OS. Have problems deleting files. Slash related?

[BillS]

I'm using FileZilla on Windows 7 to push/pull files from a Toshiba 4690 OS computer. (Formerly IBM 4690.) When I try to delete a remote file I receive an error. I believe it may relate to 4690's preference for / when referring to the M: drive but \ when working with the C: drive.

I've attached a copy/paste from the log. You'll see various issues such as:

Command: rm "c:\adx_ipgm\billstat\crcs@000"
Error: rm c:/adx_ipgm/billstat/c:\adx_ipgm\billstat\crcs@000: no such file or directory

Copy/paste from FileZilla log.

The server appears to always prefer slashes over backslashes, regardless of drive.

It performs path normalization in some places, containing backslashes to slashes, but doesn't always do it.

Is there a FileZilla option that can correct for this? Or can one be added? I do know that at least ONE other person from Earth uses the FileZilla client to communicate with a computer running 4690 OS.

Thankfully, renaming a file works:

Status: Renaming 'c:\adx_ipgm\crcts00l.286' to 'c:\adx_ipgm\crcts00l.386'
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::SendNextCommand()
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::RenameSend()
Command: mv "crcts00l.286" "crcts00l.386"
Status: c:/adx_ipgm/crcts00l.286 -> c:/adx_ipgm/crcts00l.386
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::ResetOperation(0)
Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(0)

As does renaming a directory:

Status: Renaming 'c:\adx_ipgm\billstat' to 'c:\adx_ipgm\billstot'
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::SendNextCommand()
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::RenameSend()
Command: mv "billstat" "billstot"
Status: c:/adx_ipgm/billstat -> c:/adx_ipgm/billstot
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::ResetOperation(0)
Trace: CControlSocket::ResetOperation(0)

Changed from "Bug report" to "Feature request". Would like a feature that would allow me to force FileZilla to normalize slashes so that delete operations will work correctly with 4690 OS's FTP server.

Please try the most recent nightly build from https://filezilla-project.org/nightly.php

In the nightly you can select "DOS with forward-slash separators" as Server Type on the Advanced tab in the Site Manager.

Looks much better. Few deletes with no debug, then one with debug:
Status: Deleting "c:/adx_ipgm/crctvfp.b86"
Status: Deleting "c:/adx_ipgm/crcts00l.bak"
Status: Deleting "c:/adx_ipgm/crctcpip.log"
Status: Deleting "m:/Bill/sax.class"
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::Delete
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::SendNextCommand()
Trace: CSftpControlSocket::DeleteSend
Command: rm "m:/Bill/sax.class"
Response: rm m:/Bill/sax.class: OK

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
