Listing problem

[NeOnD]

Hi,

I find that BC3 doesn't list the content of an ftp directory if that directory contains link(s) for which the target is missing (or there's too many levels of symbolic links for it). FYI, I have following options checked inside my Default FTP Profile (used by all other profiles) -
. Use MLSD command
. Show hidden [-a]
. Force Long format [-l]
. Resolve Links [-L]

Using 3.1.11 or 3.2.1, FTP or SFTP, and what server?

If it's plain FTP, you can turn on debug logging in the Tweaks dialog (Ctrl+T) on the "Folder Views" tab, and BC will dump directory listings to the log.

BC 3.2.1. FTP on a HP-UX machine.
After turning the DEBUG on here's the log output. .profile is a symbolic link to other location but the target file is missing.

Turn off "Resolve Links [-L]" for that profile and it should start working correctly.

I've logged a bug report about this, but I'm not sure on a fix right now. I'd suggest upgrading your FTP server, but it looks like wu-ftpd has been dead since 2003.
