Directory Listing with XFTP [5]

Hi all,

I try to use xftp similar as AbsoluteFTP.

The problem is that xftp use a

LIST -a

and AbsoluteFTP & Curl only

LIST
.

With LIST -a I dont't get the directory Listing.
When I execute the 'Commands->RAW Commands' in xftp I get the directory listing.

Where in xftp can I change the default list command?

Thanks for your help.

Program Ver. : Xftp 4

Directory listing is not shown on Session Log because that information is shown in the remote pane.

And, LIST and LIST -a, they both display folder listings. The only different

Are you having problems listing folders on Xftp?

If so, what is your FTP server and its version?

Hi,

Server: TCPIPFTP IBM FTP CS V1R11

This Server does not send thel directory listing when you send LIST -a

###

Output after RAW Command

250 List completed successfully.

When Xftp session initially starts, it uses LIST –a to retrieve directory information but does not provide the directory list on session log. Because this information (folders/files) is represented in the Remote pane graphically.

I am not sure about the problem you are experiencing. Could you describe your problem in detail one more time?

The output from the server with

LIST -a

and

LIST

is different.

LIST -a
###
.
..
dir01
dir02
...
dirnn
###

list
###
drwx------ 3 USER GROUP 36864 Jan 31 10:57 DIR01
....
drwx------ 4 USER GROUP 8192 May 31 2010 DIRnn
###

Could the problem be that LIST -a does not send the full directory listing?

The Update 192 have fixed the bug.
