Hi,

Thanks to all of you for helpful hints. And there is a question for
Nico:

As you suggested I started using the WinSCP2 software. Unfortunately
I'm getting the following error when I'm trying to connect to my
chroot'ed env:

Error getting name of current remote directory

The sftp from regular command line works perfectly well.

Any ideas ?

Thanks and have a great day,
Best regards,
Piotr
