FTP-Site stopped working after upgrade -> FileZilla 2.2 to 3

#1 Post by fotorob » 2009-04-16 08:46

Hello,

I use FileZilla to upload photos to a bunch of picture agencies.

There is one agency where the FTp-upload is not working anymore after upgrading from FileZilla 2.2.18 to 3.2.3.1

I called the agency, they said nothing has changed there and they have reports of other users using FileZilla as well who report problems.

Here is what FileZilla (new version) says (I edited out my username):

------------------------------

However, if I log in with the old FileZilla version and the same credentials, everything is working fine.

Any idea where the problem is?

Thanks, Robert

You are not allowed to create the target directory.

You have to contact the server administrator.

But how is that possible, regarding the fact, that with the OLD FileZilla Version I can still upload?

Here is the Protocol from the old FileZilla which works fine:

Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/users/mediaskill/www.bildmaschine.de/datadir/uploads/1566" is the current directory
Command: CWD /users/mediaskill/www.bildmaschine.de/datadir/uploads/1566

Clearly a BROKEN SERVER

to quote the relevant parts of RFC 959:
To solve these problems, upon successful completion of an MKD
command, the server should return a line of the form:

257<space>"<directory-name>"<space><commentary>

That is, the server will tell the user what string to use when
referring to the
created directory.
The
257 reply to the MKD command must always contain the absolute
pathname
of the created directory.
Essentially because the PWD command returns the same type of
information
as the successful MKD command, the successful PWD
command uses the 257 reply code as well.
So, server tells you you are in location A on the browsing connection. On the transfer connection FZ orders the server to go to A, server tells "does not exist". Just plain broken.

I send the agency the link to this thread to check their server. They said, the server isn't broken, they just disactivated the CWD-command, because it could be a security thread.
Since the user gets redirected after logging in to the correct folder, there shouldn't be the need of a CWD-command which changes folders.

You want to switch to a better hosting provider, your current one is run by clueless brainslugs.
