Not allowed to CWD

Hi,

It appears that a CWD command is automatically sent after the PWD :

“(…) [12:20:19] PWD
[12:20:20] 257 "'DIRSYST.'" is working directory.

[12:20:42] CWD 'DIRSYST'

[12:20:43] 250 "DIRSYST." is the working directory name prefix.
[12:20:43] PWD
[12:20:43] 257 "'DIRSYST.'" is working directory. (…)”

I’m not allowed to send a CWD command on the distant server I use.

How is it possible to stop the automatic sending of this command, please ?

Michel

Hello Michel ..

Can you post the complete log?

Thank you

I'm wondering why you aren't allowed to send the CWD? I can't find an error/problem in the log.

Regards,
Mat

There's no error in the log, but it rings an alarm on the distant server :

("PB SECURITE" means "Security Problem")

As I need to log there for my job, I definetly don't want to be banned from there.

That's why I need not to send that CWD

Regards,

Michel

Can you please install the latest version of SmartFTP and try again:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

Thank you. If the problem persists please post the log again.

Regards,
Mat

Could you please tell me if the latest version of SmartFTP is different of mine (v3.0.1017.1 Pro)

I can't make tries like that on that server. They're going to ban me.

By the way. May be it's irrelevant, but could it be that this problem has something to do with the fact that I did install SmartFTP on another profile of Vista that the one I'm using today (the license key is on that new profile) ?

Regards,

Michel

Hello ..

Yes the version is different.

Regards,
Mat

Hi,

I did download and install the new version.

The same thing happened, exactly the same.

I tried to install it on my working profile instead on the one it where first, but nothing changed.

Do you think it's possible not to send that CWD command with SmartFTP, or not ?

Regards,

Michel

Please post the complete log.

Thank you
Regards,
Mat

As I saw it was the same as the other day, I didn't keep it.

Please try it again and post the complete log.

Hello ..

Please try it again with the latest version:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

I have implemented a fix for your problem.

Hi Mat,

I've installed your latest version and tried it.
I didn't see any CWD on my log, but my correspondant warned me that there was still one left (16:07:51.02). I asked for their log. It's here, just bellow mine.

Best regards,

Michel

Thank you for your feedback. Our fix seems to work as expected. Did you consider that your "correspondant" might be paranoid?

It's their job to be paranoïd.

"seems to work as expected"

Why is there still one CWD left ?
It seems to be hidden in the "transfer queue" process. Is it possible ?
Sorry to insist, but I'm not allowed to send any CWD on that server.

Regards,

Michel

Can you post the log from the transfer queue?

BTW: Security has nothing to do with an additional CWD command or not.

Thank you

I don't have the log from the transfer queue.

You already told me about CWD. I can't do anything to change the rules of that company, I can only respect them.

Regards,

Michel

To get the log:
1. Stop the transfer queue
2. Do the drag&drop operation
3. The file is added to the transfer queue
4. Double click the file in the transfer queue
5. The log view opens
6. Start the transfer queue
7. Post the log here

Mat

Hi Mat,

I haven't been allowed to post any CWD or to make anymore test on that server.

In order to keep on working without trouble, I did install Filezilla on another machine.

If you can't find and fix that CWD that hasn't to be sent, I'll keep on like this or find another solution with another software.

If you find a definitive fix, please let me know, I'll be happy to work with SmartFTP again (after all, this was why I bought it ...).


Regards,

Michel
