Issue/Introduction
Error Message :
N/A
When executing the Free Form Command 'ls -l' and defining 'FTP' in the connection object, the path of the file is returned in the report.
But, if you use 'SFTP' in the connection object, only the file's name is returned in the report without the path.
Examples:
FTP
