Hello. I use SSHFTP to transfer files from my work pc to my Linux box at home and it connects fine. However on a Mac, I cannot connect. I only go as far as Connecting to Host...Starting Session and then I receive the error below:
Error listing directory "/Users/Joe".
Unexpected directory listing line "drwxr-xr-x 24 joe staff 816 7 Mar 18:41 .".
Operation aborted
When I hit okay, I connect but I cannot browse any of my remote folders. I am thinking it has something to do with permissions but I do not know what to set them too. I logged on port 22 and a user with full admin rights.
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks.

It is not 100% clear to me when you get this error, when you connect from the Mac to your Linux box?
Can you normally ssh to it or do you get any weird messages on connect perhaps? Can you use sftp?
It sounds rather it does not want that line at that moment or in a different format.

I have a problem connecting from my Windows box at work to my Mac using SSHFTP (for windows) on port 22. When I connect from from Windows box to my Linux box, I have no problem.
Is it sftp from the command line? No I haven't tried that. I turned on my ftp server on my iMac but I was having problems with it, that is why I want to try using ssh instead.

If you log in with your username and password there shouldn't arise a permissions problem. However, sftp would be the standard command line FTP-like client for file transfer over SSH. SFTP is not FTPS, FTP over SSL or over TLS. A SFTP client ("sftp") should come with all Unix (and OS X) installations and most likely there will be Window versions as well.
However you might first want to check the documentation of your SSHFTP if there are any ways to configure it so it works. Maybe it just does not like the "dot"-files or wants a different date format. There are alternatives like WinSCP or FileZilla you might want to try if you don't get it running. For any of the other mentioned FTP transfers, SmartFTP is a nice Winows FTP client.
