FPT problem when reading file - FTP

I tried FileZilla Server 0.86 beta and I replicated the problem. It looks like a bug in FileZilla Server to me. FileZilla Server is apparently trying to follow RFC 959: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html and it says: LIST (LIST) This command causes a list to be sent from the server to the passive DTP. If the pathname specifies a directory or other group of files, the server should transfer a list of files in the specified directory. If the pathname specifies a file then the server should send current information on the file. The problem is: FileZilla is not handling the case of a file. I looked in the rebol handler and found that it sends a request to LIST the file before RETRieving it, which looks correct and in accordance with the RFC to me. I have submitted a bug report to the SourceForge FileZilla project about it. I was unable to find the source for the FileZilla Server, though. Anton.

I was half-expecting this question. You have no choice about connecting to a different FTP server do you? The solution is to hack the ftp scheme a bit. I believe the RETR will work without an initial LIST. write cliboard:// system/schemes/ftp/handler Open your editor, then paste into a new file which contains: rebol [] system/schemes/ftp/handler: ; <- paste here Now you search for: do select [ file [ net-utils/confirm/multiline port/locals/cmd-port list-file-check ... and start commenting until it works!
