monsta client connect to filezilla server can not display / directory

#1 Post by sharyl.tseng » 2023-04-11 03:43

We are using Monsta 2.5.3 connecting to FileZilla server 0.9.60 beta and it is working perfectly!
However, since both versions are too old, we like to upgrade both of our FileZilla server and Monsta client to newest versions!
I have upgraded our Monsta ftp to 2.10.4. and FileZilla server to 1.6.6 and then I got the following error (Failed to list directory “/”) (see attachment for the error screenshot and filezilla server logs) as I tried logging in with both existed and new ftp account and they all show me this error!
I have checked the permission and logs but still NOT able to get this error resolved! I am pretty much sure it is NOT FileZilla permission setting issue since I can login to the same account thru FileZilla client successfully (see attachment for the connection screenshot) !

the "-a" argument your client is using for the "LIST" command is non-standard, and FileZilla Server assumes it's just the name of a file, which doesn't exist, hence the error.

Your client should just use "LIST" without any arguments or, better yet, switch to the more powerful and standard command NLST.
