i have written a script that by default runs with option batch continue as a stop gap incase one of the ftp server i connect to errors out.
i have noticed that recently, the
get command, when provided a full remote path with filename is causing errors with some ftp servers.
i have it written as such:
get "/Remote/Path/to/System.ini" "C:\Local\Path\for\System.ini"
in the logs, its executed as such:
> Script: get "/Remote/Path/to/System.ini" "C:\Local\Path\for\System.ini"
. Listing file "/Remote/Path/to/System.ini".
. Retrieving file information...
> PWD
< 257 "/"
> CWD /Remote/Path/to/System.ini
< 550 Requested action not taken: internal server error
> TYPE I
< 200 Type set to I.
> SIZE /Remote/Path/to/System.ini
< 550 Requested action not taken: internal server error
. Could not retrieve file information
< Script: Can't get attributes of file '/Remote/Path/to/System.ini'.
< Could not retrieve file information
as you can see, the CWD is including the filename as a directory that can be changed to. i had attempted to mitigate this by changing my script to the following:
cd "/Remote/Path/to/"
get System.ini "C:\Local\Path\for\System.ini"
yet the get command still performs the CWD with the full path that i had JUST done a CD prior to attempt to bypass this bug with.per the logs
> Script: cd "/Remote/Path/to/"
. Changing directory to "/Remote/Path/to/".
> CWD /Remote/Path/to/

the servers(4)im dealing with that throw this error use Twisted 15.5.0 FTP Server. this also errors on Windows 9x/NT FTP server, however the server still responds to the size command properly and allows the transfer of the file. the feature set im limited to is as follows:
< 211-Features:
< FEAT
< MDTM
< PASV
< SIZE
< TYPE A;I
this issue dose not occur on the Unix emulated FileZilla FTP Server, as i see it properly performing a
CWD without the file included as a directory. Is there a way to fix this?.
