Map owner/group IDs to names

[younda]

Does FileZilla support mapping owner or group IDs on the FTP server to user/group names? That is, if I had a mapping file that I could point FileZilla at, I'd like it to use the file to display user/group names instead of the IDs. This would be site specific of course.

Not possible AFAIK.

If memory serves me correctly, at least for the ftp server I log in to, it shows group names. well, that was until I installed v3.2.4. I backdated down to 3.2.3.1 and I see the owner/group names again instead of number ID's.

I don't see this as an option so I'm not sure what's changed...

Filezilla now uses MLSD for listings.

I use Pure-FTPd, which says "Pure-FTPd has one of the most complete implementation of the FTP protocol specifications. It includes the protocol basics, plus modern extensions like MLST/MLSD (extensible and mirror-safe directory listings)."

But with new version of FileZilla still can't see names of user/owner, but numbers instead.

That's how your server returns it in MLSD listings.

Thank you. So this is Pure-FTPd issue. But if someone knows how to configure Pure-FTPd, so it would send names instead of numbers.

Can you please post the reply to the FEAT command?

That confirms it, your server doesn't support user/group names.

It is funny to us users, because with old FileZilla it shows user/group names.

So what should be done to pureftpd to show that data?

[botg]

Dunno, never looked at its source code.

It is funny to us users, because with old FileZilla it shows user/group names.

Old Filezilla used LIST command. Your server does return the information on LIST, but not on MLSx commands.

Maybe Filezilla should issue a LIST command if you select 'File permissions'. Of couse only for single objects. This would allow a quick check for single files/dirs.

Why is that my server don't support MLSx command in FEAT shows:

MLSx term is used for both MLST and MLSD (known as MLSx commands).

If you want something to read: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3659#section-7

In the following, the term MLSx will be used wherever either MLST or MLSD may be inserted.
