how to make a list file that's accepted by filezilla (ASCII)

[daans]

Hello,

Currently I am working on an embedded ftp server, and using filezilla to communicate with it. Logging in and some other commands aren't a problem, the problem I am having is at sending the list file from my server to my ftp client (filezilla). Currently I'm programming my server in ASCII mode, and what I would like to know is:

How do I make a list file that's accepted by filezilla? (embedded FAT file system is allready working)

next to that a simple other questing: is it possible to make filezilla request the list file each time I try to establish a connection with my server? Filezilla currently only requests a list file one time at login, after that it only requests what the current working directory of my server is without requesting a list file. (this is something I would like to know for debugging purposes of my server).

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at the MLSD command specified in RFC 3659, it's the recommended way to present file listings to clients. Everything else is deprecated.
