LIST retun

[benkoch]

Hi everyone,

I currently have an application that is looking for a file on an FTP directory. If the file does not exist, it will be written.
However, the program expects an empty string as return if a file does not exist.

The app sends to the FTP-Server:

Code: Select all

LIST test

While test is not an existing file.

The app expects something like this:

Code: Select all

200 PORT command successful.
150 Open data connection in ASCII mode for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete. 0 bytes transferred. 0.00 KB/sec

But Filezilla Server responds:

Code: Select all

200 PORT command successful.
550 The file or directory could not be opened

Is there a possibility that Filezilla Server does not return 550 as a return value, but a code 226 with a string?

Benjamin

The application you are using is relying on non-standard behavior. You need to fix your application.
