no folders, no files

Sorry for another posting with this title, but I searched now for several hours and none of the solutions I found worked for me.

If I connect to a server of a friend, no folders or files are shown. I can manually change into one directory, but still no files are shown. I can uplaod files to the server, but they are not shown in SmartFTP.

Changing the 'directory listing options' in settings - transfer doesn't show any effect, it makes no difference if none or any combination of them are enabled or disabled.

I reinstalled SmartFTP, without a change.

I have no problems by connecting with a browser or an older version of WS-FTP.

Here is my raw listing:

Any ideas?

Please test it with the latest version from:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

Do you know by any chance what FTP server software is running on the server?

Thanks

Jep, with the version from the link it's working, also with the 'directory listing options' enabled.

And no, I don't know what server software is running on the server. It's some kind of a Linux OS, but that's all I can say. Why are you asking, could there be some incompatibilties with any server software or what?

And what are the differences between the beta version and the final? Can I use the beta without any risks or are there some security or other problems?

The version available now is final.

I have a similar problem. I had aquired an old alcatel switch from ebay and was attempting to update its operating system. While I could transfer files to it, I couldn't see any files or folders inside the switch. WS_FTP has no such problems.

As henry did before me, I removed all directory listing options with no effect. I even used the beta version posted with no change.

Any ideas?

Post the transfer log and the raw directory listing as henry did.

Thanks
-Mat

Aha. Interesting that all these FTP servers running under linux always come up with a slightly different listing format instead of supporting MLSD. I will see that the next version will support the "new" listing format.

We are not planning to support the Alcatel OmniSwitch 6000 device unless you can give us a good reason.

I was just kinda curious why this product wasn't able to list files in the directories of this switch and WS FTP was able to do so.

It's a simple unix command when I use command line ftp; the ol 'ls' will give me a straight text display of it.

Of course, with a response of this nature, I'm not sure that SmartFTP will be useful for me in the future concerning other similar devices I may aquire. Though I note, you DID tell me to post my logs when I already identified the device in question...though perhaps not the exact model number; I'll be more specific in the future.

This is good to know. My search goes on then.

I had the same problem and the new version. (*.19) solved it.
I think i was using *.12 before.

mackal: The latest beta version available from https://www.smartftp.com/download should now work with your FTP server. Please give it a try.

Thanks

Hi everybody,

I read the messages about directory listing not visible from some FTP servers: I have installed the latest version of SmartFTP (2.0.996) but I still can't see the directory listing.

Here you can see the messages from the log window:

Is there any reason, maybe related to the supported features?

Thank you so much

berserk: The problem is not with the listing decoder. It's with the listing options -aL.

[18:43:42] 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for directory listing.
[18:43:42] 39 bytes transferred. (278 bytes/s) (140 ms)

As you can see only 39 bytes are transferred. Go to the Settings->Transfer and remove the -a (Show all files) and -L (Resolve Links) switch from the "Directory Listing Options".

Please consider buying a license. Thank you.

I had the same Problem; could not see files or folders on the server, though could see all with: AceFTP3, CoreFTP, FileZilla, FreeFTP, FTP Voyager, JFTP, and WS_FTP, but could not see any listing with SmartFTP. What could be the problem? I get everything with raw listing, but nothing in the browser window.

would appreciate any help, I like your soft, but would like it more if it would work

Hello ..

Thanks for your posting. Please try it with the new version .11
https://www.smartftp.com/download

VxWorks changes its software with every release. Now it suddenly behaves like a unix FTP server. This change has been addressed in the latest version of SmartFTP.

Regards,
-Mat

Borgrim: Your problem is not related to the others.

As you can see from the log only 219 bytes get transferred. You may want to disable MLSD for pureftpd.
[15:43:58] 219 bytes transferred.

Please also post the raw directory listing of the directory.
