FTP Client - Unable to parse listing of files... (Cerberus)

Mem · Post by **Mem** » 13 Mar 2006, 16:23

I connect to one ftp server running Cerberus ("220-Welcome to Cerberus FTP Server, 220 Created by Grant Averett"). The initial directory of ftp server is mapped to show all drives on that server (disk drive C:, D:, E:, F: ). In TC I can see those drives as directories named C, D, E, F and simply open it. In SS I can see this messagebox:

...and then this listing:

When I manually set Initial directory in SS FTP Client plugin to e.g. "E", it works nicely:

So I think the "only" problem is to deal with the initial listing of drives. I can provide access to that server for testing purposes if needed.

Please send me raw listing which cannot be parsed:
- connect to FTP server
- go to root
- error message "unable to parse listing" should be displayed, close it
- click right button in panel, choose Show Raw Listing, click Save As
- send me this file, pack it to .zip archive (or other)

My email: petr.solin at altap.cz.

The raw listing is exactly only the same text as shown on the previous screenshot (I am also sending listing.txt to you right now):

Code: Select all

dr--r--r--   1 user     group           0 Jan 01  1601 d
dr--r--r--   1 user     group           0 Jan 01  1601 f
dr--r--r--   1 user     group           0 Jan 01  1601 e
dr--r--r--   1 user     group           0 Mar 06  2004 c

And "Show Log..."

Code: Select all
