issue reconnecting to same server with different root directory
Posted: 2021-04-05 19:59
I am finding that reconnecting to an FTP server that is started from a different root directory does not display the correct directory contents unless FileZilla is completely closed and reopened first. I am creating an FTP server on my Android phone and connecting to it using FileZilla 3.53.1 for PC. Here are the steps I am following:
1. start FTP server on phone in /storage/
2. connect to FTP server using FileZilla using drop-down arrow next to "Quickconnect" and specifying phone's IP; choose "OK" when asked about "Insecure FTP connection"
3. stop FTP server on phone
log file from above 3 steps:
4. start FTP server on phone in /
5. connect to FTP server using FileZilla on PC using drop-down arrow next to "Quickconnect" and specifying phone's IP
6. choose "Abort previous connection and connect in current tab" when prompted (not sure why I get this window that says "FileZilla is already connected to a server.")
At this point, the listing of directories in FileZilla's right-hand window still shows the directory structure from when the previous server was started from /storage/, and trying to navigate inside some of those directories gives the error shown in the log file below:
If I completely close FileZilla, reopen it, then reconnect to the same FTP server on my phone, the directory structure is displayed correctly. Is this always necessary or does a setting control this behavior?
1. start FTP server on phone in /storage/
2. connect to FTP server using FileZilla using drop-down arrow next to "Quickconnect" and specifying phone's IP; choose "OK" when asked about "Insecure FTP connection"
3. stop FTP server on phone
