Re: [ptp-dev] Proper use of IRemoteConnection.setWorkingDirectory()

[Greg Watson <g.watson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,

I just tried:

connection.setWorkingDirectory("/tmp");
String wd = connection.getWorkingDirectory();
System.out.println("wd = " + wd);

and it prints:

wd = /tmp

So I'm not sure what is going wrong. In fact, looking at the code, the only way this would not work is if the path is not absolute.

The JavaDoc says that the path specified needs to be absolute and valid, so I am sending the name of a previously created (~6months back) directory called, for example, /home/jay/scratch. However, calling IRemoteConnection.getWorkingDirectory() always returns the original working directory, in this case /home/jay.
