Remote Directory Specification

I am dealing with an entity that just upgraded their sFTP server. Before the upgrade I was able to pass a remote directory using the format

/folder/folder1/

Since their upgrade, I am no longer able to access the diretory on the server. I am logging in but get an error indicating "Could not retrieve directory listing." They are indicating that I can no longer send the leading slash, indicating that the remote directory needs to specified as follows:

folder/folder1

I am unable to get Filezilla to perform this as it appears the software forces in a leading slash. What can I do to solve this dilemma?

The same feature of Filezilla causes problems with my Windows SSH server because it returns paths like "C:/dir" and doesn't understand when Filezilla uses them with slashes in front "/C:/dir".

I looked at Filezilla 3. I see it has an option to select the remote server type. When I set it to DOS I don't get a '/' in front of the paths and SFTP works great.
