- Fix current directory handling in SCPShell for WinSCP
- Better handle SFTP append in SFTPv3 for buggy servers: send reasonable write offsets
Some SFTP v3 servers have trouble with append mode for file uploads. OpenSSH < 6.3 didn't have append mode implemented, and some server identifying as "7.9.0.0_openssh" apparently also cannot do it. As a work-around get the file size first, then use that as base offset for writing. This is at best an approximation of true append mode. We still send the "append" flag, so for correct servers there will be no change, but with the work-around appending may work as expected in most cases even for servers that get append mode wrong.
Fix the handling of the home directory when a RootedFileSystem is used. 'currentDir' and 'homeDir' must be paths from the file system used. WinSCP may, at least initially, send Windows-style paths; so ensure that the path is converted. When listing the root directory, don't include the ".." entry for the parent directory. Tested manually on Windows.
