Cannot use FileTransfer where there is no home folder for logged in user #488

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a FileTransfer session to a linux host where there is no home 
directory, i.e. upon login in a terminal session, you receive:
  Could not chdir to home directory /home/someuser: No such file or directory
- When FileTransfer window opens, you see a similar message at the bottom of 
the FileTransfer tab "Unable to open /home/someuser: no such file or directory"
- You are unable to change the active directory on the server

Suggested resolution - for both client and server, allow typing the 
path/browsing like winscp/filezilla in to the path bar on the top of each pane 
so that you can select a directory.
