Root Directory Inaccessible

Until few weeks ago, I had not problem with one specific web-site I maintain. Now, the root directory for this specific web-site can no longer be displayed. I have no problems with other web-sites. Also, I can access this one specific, problematic, web-site with FileZilla, command-line FTP, and NVu ( an HTML WYSIWYG editor).

here's the log of the log-in attempt:

I've tried entering directories below the root into the directory box without success.

Is there some flag I need to set in SmartFTP?

thanks

Remove the -al arguments from the LIST command. To do this go to the Directory Listing options in the FTP->Transfer dialog of the favorite settings.
Disable the [x] Show All Files and [x] Resolve Symbolic check boxes.

Mat,

Thanks. That worked perfectly.
