OpenVMS

Message

TheAngryPenguin · #1 Post by **TheAngryPenguin** » 2004-03-08 19:02

A long time ago, I posted a request for support about FileZilla's interoperability with OpenVMS. Nothing really came out of it, so I figured I would revisit it on the new Forum.

Issue:
FileZilla does not display the contents of directories when connected to an OpenVMS FTPD. "FTP-OpenVMS FTPD V5.5-3" is displayed in the banner message that's logged by FZ.

Many versions back, some files would be listed, but FZ would never accurately display all files.

The only FTP client that seems to work with OpenVMS is WS_FTP (not to mention ftp.exe from the command prompt).

I am definitely willing to help debug this issue, so please let me know what I can do. In the meantime, below is an obfuscated debug log of a 2.2.4c connection to the above-mentioned FTP server...

Hi,

I'm sorry, somehow I've overlooked this bug.

Please try http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/FileZilla_setup.exe
If that doesn't work, please post a log with enabled 'Show raw directory listing' on the debug page.

Same thing with the 2.2.4f build -- it just doesn't see the files:

..when I enter the DIR command from the DCL, there are indeed files to be found. And as previously stated, LS and DIR from ftp.exe have no problem showing the files:

Try to disable "Show hidden files" in FileZilla, your server doesn't seem to support this feature.

In doing so, we're back to square one:

FileZilla lists less files than are actually in the directory. For example, FileZilla reports that there are 21 files in my home directory, where command line FTP and DCL dir commands show that there are actually 73 files.

It appears to me that FileZilla lists multiple file iterations as a single file. For (another) example, say I have 10 iterations of FREDFLINTSTONE.COM

Code: Select all

FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;1
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;2
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;3
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;4
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;5
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;6
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;7
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;8
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;9
FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;10

It looks like FZ is only listing the most current file, FREDFLINTSTONE.COM;10. It displays as "FREDFLINTSTONE.COM" in the remote file list Window, and in the Filetype column, "COM;10" is displayed.

It's by design that FileZilla only displays the latest version of the file.

Feature request: Please make it an option in Ver. 3
