But the directory exists, I created under the homedir a directory testdir. Any advice on where to find the solution to this error?

Thx in advance!

You are trying to LIST a directory named "-a /testdir". This directory does not exist and the name is invalid, anyway.

Please instruct your client to NOT send the unsupported and incompatible -a parameter. LIST does only support a pathname as argument.

The LIST command takes exactly one argument. The client wants to list the directory "-a /testdir" relative to the current working directory "/testdir". The corresponding absolute path is "/testdir/-a /testdir".
