dirDetails(".") returns only files, not subdirecto

Question

Hi,

I am using dirDetails(".") to get a list of FTPFile from a remote site

Answer 1

Can you please log in from the command-line, get a listing and then post it here so that we can have a look at what the server is returning?

Here it is:

ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

-rw-r--r-- 1 ycao users 11 Apr 18 14:09 yyyxxx
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 249 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 249000.00Kbytes/sec.

Thanks.

Answer 3

I can't see anything in that listing that would indicate any problem. Can you please turn on logging and post a log of your session?

If you feel adventurous, then another thing you can try is to link the edtFTPnet source into your application, put a breakpoint in UnixFileParser.Parse(string) and step through the code. It gets called once for each line in the directory listing, so in this case it should get called four times; the second and third calls being for the subdirectories.

Answer 4

I think there is a bug in dirDetails("."). If I use dirDetails(dirpath) I got both files and subdirectories, where dirpath is a String of absolute directory path. Maybe you can compare those two. Thanks.

Answer 5

Would you be able to log into your server again from the command line and call both "dir ." and "dir <absolute-path>", just to see if the server is returning different things?

Aha, there is different, and it explains. Thanks.
