some file names truncated in ReadDirectory

ReadDirectory listing wrong for some files with specific names on ftp server

For example, if I have file with name "A Tree List Control - Tree Controls.mht" on ftp server, then "Directory" property will be contain FTPItem object with value "Tree List Control - Tree Controls.mht" in "Name" property (symbol A is not present). See below few situations:

"B file.txt" - wrong (will be "file.txt")
"Bfile.txt" - correct
"-B file.txt" - correct
"- file.txt" - wrong (will be "file.txt")
"-+ file.txt" - correct
"AB file.txt" - correct

Hello ..

Quick and Easy's output is not what we expect from a UNIX compliant FTP server:


You should notice the extra space after the day in the date. Please report the problem to the Quick and Easy developer.

Thank you for your report, MB.

Yes, indeed. I check this situation on my web site with standard ftp server - SmartFTP work fine.
I use Quick and Easy only as local ftp server for testing of my applications
It's not big problem for me in this situation.

+1 to SmartFTP lib

I just talked to Pablo, the developer of Quick n' Easy FTP Server. He told me he will look into it and he may consider to implement MLSD/MLST.

I will post further updates here.

+2 to SmartFTP lib

p.s. I think about purchase of SmartFTP lib
