These issues with Sybase Central operations while using the Create Database Wizard and browsing for a file on remote systems are related to JRE 6.0. The workarounds are either to enter in the text field the required path name to the file, rather than selecting the file using the wizard, or to run Sybase Central on the system on which you are creating the database.
Running Sybase Central in either Windows or Linux: you cannot traverse inside a newly created directory, while browsing on a remote system
Running Sybase Central in Windows: double clicking on directories on a remote Linux system is non-responsive
Running Sybase Central in either Windows or Linux: the Create New Directory button is disabled, while browsing for files on a remote Linux system
Running Sybase Central in Linux: while navigating the C: drive on a remote Windows system, if you click the Up > Up > ... button, the listing of files for the C: drive is not correct
Running Sybase Central on all platforms: renaming a file on a remote system does not work. After you enter the new name and press Enter, there is no response and the rename operation fails without returning an error.
Running Sybase Central on all platforms: clicking and double clicking files and directories on a remote system does not work as expected. Sometimes Sybase Central navigates into the directory and sometimes it edits the directory name for rename. Similarly for files, sometimes Sybase Central selects the file and some times it edits the file name for rename.
