Hi all.
Congratulations for the terrific software!

I want to know how it is explained.

Connected to ipv6-wireless.
sftp> ls
BLFS-11.3-html-sysv blfs-book-11.3-html.tar.xz set-rclone-password.sh
sftp> lls
Couldn't execute "bash": No such file or directory
Shell exited with status 1
sftp>

Note: this situation happened within "GNU Screen" (pts). It worked
normally in the terminal console (tty).

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 ("bookworm")

ssh -V
OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u1, OpenSSL 3.0.11 19 Sep 2023

Thank you.

Check your screen config (~/.screenrc, /etc/screenrc), in
particular the “shell” command.

For reference, mine has:

shell "-${SHELL}"

And the environment variable $SHELL is /bin/mksh (so a full
pathname, not just the name of the executable).

OK. It looks like it is working perfectly now.

My "/etc/screenrc":
shell -/usr/bin/bash

$ echo ${SHELL}
/usr/bin/bash

Why was there such a problem?

Thank you very much.
