Bug: v1.1.9 ftpClient.Dir(filename) returns bad result

Question

Working with C#.

Using FTPClient.Dir("/remote/file.ext") to confirm the existence of a file returns a bad result.

Although the resulting string[].Length == 1 as expected (when the file exists), the contents are bad:

string[0] = "/remote/file.ext/file.ext"

It looks as is FTPClient.Dir(path) expects "path" to be a directory and uses it as a prefix in building the results.

Answer 1

You can't use Dir to confirm the existence of a file - not that way.

Use Dir("remote") to get the file list and see if it is there.

Answer 2

Well the technique certainly works reliably in my application!

Answer 3

It *may* work, but is heavily dependent on how the FTP server handles directory listing requests.
