BC can't get ftp content ?

[mike235]

Hi guys,
We have ftp server, that creates virtual directory, and files within it, however BC can't seem to load LIST. Popup appears that says folder not available. However we used this ftp server with Total Commander before switching to BC, and all works as expected. Here's the output

As I said, popup appears, and nothing gets loaded. Can you help me out guys ?

Here is ftp addresses, that I'm passing to BC
ftp://[email protected]:3000/CMS/1511/2
ftp://[email protected]:3000/CMS/1511/1

You might have better luck adding an extra '/' between the port and path, like:

ftp://[email protected]:3000//CMS/1511/2

The first / just separates the host/port from the path, so it isn't sent to the server. This alternative would send it as "/CMS/1511/2", which looks like what the server expects.

BC will strip that out if you load a session with that path and then save it, though. Since the initial login directory is '/', "/CMS/1511/2" and "CMS/1511/2" should point to the same directory, and we remove the extra / to keep the displayed path neater.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for response, you're right extra / solved the problem, indeed url should be ftp://[email protected]:3000//CMS/1511/2 so ftp server will get the CMS/1511/2 as a path.
