no ftp connect: "Invalid address syntax"
hi,
I'm trying to connect to the server at my school. I've connected to the server using gftp on linux, but I'm not able to do it with filezilla on windowsxp.
I enter the address "ftp://cdepauw@heart.cecs.csulb.edu" along with my password and username. Filezilla does not connect and instead it reports that I have an invalid address syntax.
When my teacher advised my class to purchase an ftp client application I spoke up and recommended filezilla instead. Now my reputation might be on the line because of people not being able to connect.
thanks

Re: no ftp connect: "Invalid address syntax"
"ftp://" = the protocol being used, FTP in this case (other indicators include "http://", "gopher://", "telnet://")fatblueduck wrote:I enter the address "ftp://cdepauw@heart.cecs.csulb.edu" along with my password and username.

"cdepauw@" = the username used to connect to the FTP server. Note that you can also include the password after the username by separating each with a colon, like "ftp://cdepauw:password@heart.cecs.csulb.edu"
"heart.cecs.csulb.edu" = the host to connect to
So, in FileZilla, just use "heart.cecs.csulb.edu" for the host (or address) and not the entire "ftp://cdepauw@heart.cecs.csulb.edu" string. In all honesty, it would be totally pimp-tight if FZ could automagically process this information. I smell a feature request around the corner...

My apologies -- I didn't realize that FZ was now able to parse URLs. Great job! I have confirmed that there are no parsing errors in 2.2.16 with URLs in the format of:
However, I have noticed that it's not parsing any directories after the domain name. Not sure if this is by design, but
and
spit out the following error:
Code: Select all
ftp://username:password@ftp.example.com
Code: Select all
ftp://username:password@ftp.example.com/public_html
Code: Select all
ftp://username:password@ftp.example.com/public_html/
Code: Select all
Response: 550 Can't change directory to /public_html(/): No such file or directory
Error: Could not retrieve directory listing
