FTPFile.Owner returns number (expecting user ID)

Question

I am retuning a list of FTPFile objects using GetFileInfos.

As I work through the list, I want to see if the connected user is the owner of the object.

When I use ftpFile.Owner, it returns a #. However, looking at the listed owner in any GUI FTP application, it reads as "username".

What's interesting is the ftpFile.raw for edtFTP shows the # value 10724 in the owner field. Meanwhile, using Cygwin or any other command-line SSH FTP program, the owner is "username".

Any thoughts on how can I get "username" from 10724?

Thanks,

I don't think you can get the username from the number. I think what we need to do is work out why different listings are returned. I suggest looking at the LIST command that's sent by each client. Perhaps they pass different flags along.

Hi, can you email us the log output with logging set to the All level?

And also the cygwin output at the -vvv level. support@enterprisedt.com
