Empty filesize with FileZilla (SFTP) but OK in WinSCP

[jakedan]

Hi,

I'm using FileZilla client 3.55.1 (x64) on Windows 10

Server : CentOS Linux release 8.2 with SSHD (openssh-server-8.0p1-4.el8_1.x86_64) with chroot users.

When I browse directory with FileZilla filesize is zero and permissions are empty, but I can download the file and the content is fine :

If I edit permissions I see "xxx" :

With raw display I obtain the user1:sftpgrp information, but filesize is always zero byte :

Code: Select all

Contenu :	drwxr-xr-x    2 user1 sftpgrp     4096 Jul 29 15:11 .

Listing works fine with WinSCP and MobaXterm. Seems to be a FileZilla issue ?

Thank you for your help

Directories never have a size, it is not defined for them.

I cannot reproduce the lack of permissions and owner/group using SFTP. Against multiple different versions of OpenSSh they show up fine.

Hi botg

you're right for directory, but permissions are empty. With files the filesize and permissions are empty
I can precise that the issue appears with a DFS mount on linux server, when I browse a local directory filezise is good. With WinSCP both are good.

How can I collect and send logs to you (not in a public way) ?

I'm not familiar with the acronym, what is DFS?

It's a Microsoft Distributed File System (wikipedia)

So, no idea why it works with WinSCP (and others clients) but not with FileZilla Client ?
