Unexpected directory change when open saved FTP session

[neochang]

Hello Aaron,

I've sent the BCSupport.zip from [email protected]. Hope this can really help.

And I've also tried your above recommendations:

-There is only one FTP Profile in my BC settings, so I'm quite sure I was editing and using the same profile. If I Load the FTP side in a new session, which means I must reselect the FTP directory, then it is right. But If I open a new tab after that and load the saved session I mentioned in the first post, things always go wrong..

-I've tried several other encodings like Unicode, Unicode(bigendian), GB18030, GB2312, ANSI, etc. But none of them could connect to the FTP Server correctly...

I would also recommend trying:

-Remove any ambigious profiles from the FTP Profiles dialog, to be sure you are editing the same one that is being used. Load the FTP side in a new session using the Browse button, FTP Tab, Load button.

-Try other encodings other than Auto-Detect and UTF-8.

Hello,

Could you email your Support.zip to [email protected] ?
Please also include a link back to this forum post.
You can generate it from the Help menu -> Support, Export.

Hi Aaron,
I've just tried your advice, switched the Encoding from Default(detect) to UTF-8 under FTP profiles, but things are all the same. It still changes the directory to "/"..
Please look into this and I'll be very appreciated~!

Thank you for your advice. I'm on my vacation now so I'll try that a few days later.
And I'll post the result after I tried.
Thanks~!

If you go to the Tools menu -> FTP Profiles, select your profile, and switch the Encoding from detect to UTF-8, does that work for you?

Hi there,
I'm using the latest version of BC3(3.1.7 Build 10865). But I encounter a problem when openning a saved FTP folder comparison session.

When I double click the saved session in the saved session list, it connects the FTP server, logs in correctly and changes to the right directory that I configered.

But then there seems to be an unexpected command " CWD /" sent to the FTP server. So the directory changed back to the root directory which is not what I set in the session.

e.g. The directory settings of the saved session are as follows:

Left folder:  D:\powerserver_work_dir\神仙OL\Tarot_Data

Right folder:ftp://[email protected]/我们的工具/塔罗客户端

when the initial background content comparison completes the current folder of right folder will always be "ftp://[email protected]/".
No matter how many times I reopen the session, the situation remains all the same.

The only way I can make it back to the right folder is to select "Browse" button in the session page and click "Click & Browse" button to reset the Initial remote folder BEFORE I open the saved session.

The FTP server I'm using is Serv-U v8.2.

Please look into the problem 'cause this is REALLY boring..Thanks very much~!

P.S. NOT every saved session has such a problem, some session with different remote folders is OK.

The BC log is as follows:
