FTP PWD (working directory) command ignored ? - zwiebelchen - 2011-01-27 Hi, I guess I found a bug but I'm not sure: if I add a network FTP source and connect to it, the FTP server (running on a linux-based sat receiver) says the current directory is NOT the root directory (it's set to "/var/" instead of "/"). If I want to change to the root directory (by opening the folder named ".."), I get back to the source selction screen. Is it a known bug ? How can I change the working directory to root ("/") ? Thanks in advance, zwiebelchen - jhsrennie - 2011-01-27 When you created the network location for the FTP server, did you put / in the "Remote path" field? If not try it and see if it helps. I tested with my FTP server, which by default sets the /jhsrennie directory as the current directory. If I don't specify the remote path I get exactly the behaviour you describe. When I connect I see the contents of the /jhsrennie folder and .. takes me back to the source selection screen. If I put / in as the remote path then when I open the source I see the root directory. JR - zwiebelchen - 2011-01-27 OK, it's a part of the solution. If I set the "Remote Path" to "/", I get into the root path. But changing into a directory failed. In Firefox / Filezilla etc. it is no problem... The path where I stored my movies is "ftp://192.168.178.56//hdd/movie/Filme/". If I type "/" as "Remote Path" and try to access the hdd folder, I just get an empty folder displayed. But it's full of other folders and some files. If it helps, the console output of FileZilla... Code: Status: Verbinde mit 192.168.178.56:21... What's wrong ? - jhsrennie - 2011-01-28 Set the remote path to /hdd/movie or possible /hdd/movie/Filme as appropriate. JR - zwiebelchen - 2011-01-28 Doesn't work, I get an error. I guess it was "Network resource not reachable" or something like that (currently not at home to check it). - jhsrennie - 2011-01-28 It sounds as if the ftp account you're using doesn't have access to the hdd folder. Alternatively, is the hdd folder a link? I have a vague memory that the ftp client in XBMC has problems following links, though this may only have been in the beta builds. JR - zwiebelchen - 2011-01-28 The ftp account is root, the same I'm using in Firefox / Filezilla where it works. But I think it could be a link. On the other hand, should the real path not be shown if I enter the directory from an other ftp client ? If I can't get it working I will try to install a smb server, but it's a little bit strange. |
