Bug with wildcard characters

#1 Post by SimonHunter » 2023-12-24 19:03

Hi, i think there is a bug in the current FZ server that prevents any use of wildcards when the client list files or directories.

I've been trying to transfer photos from my Sony A7iv DSLR camera. I can make connection to the FTP server on my Windows laptop, but as soon as I initiate the file transfer the connection is lost.

I had to reinstall version 0.9.60_1 to solve the problem. Sony cameras have a file name convention which starts every file with an "_" ; eg _A74iv3456.jpg.

Having discovered the solution I was able to replicate and correct the issue on my Windows desktop PC also.

Is there any workaround or are you planning a fix in a future release?


thanks!

There is no bug, FTP itself does not support any wildcards. There is no support planned for this non-FTP functionality.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!
FTP connection problems? Please read Network Configuration.

You'd think that a huge megacorp worth many billions would have the manpower to fix their broken client implementation with a simple firmware update.
