WinSCP 5.13 .NET assembly // Session.MoveFile without the rights to list

2018-04-09 10:09

Hello,

I have installed WinSCP 5.13 .NET assembly to correct a "Invalid access to memory" exception a few weeks ago. So far, it looks good, I don't have these exceptions anymore.

However, in the version 5.13, I have seen in the release note that the MoveFile method behaviour have changed. The Session.MoveFile fails with a SessionRemoteException when the remote file can not be listed.

I have a partner that wants me to send files on his FTP server where :
1. I don't have the rights to list directories
2. The partner ask me to send the files with a temporary extension and then rename it

Do I have a way to make it work with the 5.13 version ?
If not, could you add an optional argument to Session.MoveFile to be able to get the same behaviour than in the version 5.11 ?

For the moment, I have the 2 versions of the assembly following the rights I have on the remote sites.

Thank you in advance for your help !

Alex

That's too broad question. It heavily depends on how the permissions are configured and what commands are restricted. WinSCP does not need permissions to list directories. I needs permissions to retrieve file attributes.

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your reply. What I see from my side.

My Code (powershell)

# $remoteNameSuffixed = "/pfm/xyric_ged/PFM1656_CD1802-665637_NN-180208566_POD_180302152215696_30538_001.jpeg.TRF.TempH"
# $remoteName = "/pfm/xyric_ged/PFM1656_CD1802-665637_NN-180208566_POD_180302152215696_30538_001.jpeg.TRF"
# Sending of the file with a suffix
$transferResult = $session.PutFiles($localFullName, $remoteNameSuffixed, $false, $transferOptions)

# Create an exception if the upload failed
$transferResult.Check()

# Remove the suffix
$session.MoveFile($remoteNameSuffixed, $remoteName)

Here are the logs for the sending of the same file on a FTP server where I have the rights the write but not to list.

With the version 5.11.1, the MoveFile sends the RNFR & RNTO commands and the server send back the success code 250 RNTO command successful

With the version 5.13, the MoveFile sends a SIZE command to the server and then I get an exception.
Exception lors de l'appel de « MoveFile » avec « 2 » argument(s) : « Can't get attributes of file '/pfm/xyric_ged/PFM1656_CD1802-665637_NN-180208566_POD_180302152215696_30538_001.jpeg.TRF.TempH'.

I guess I could use Session.ExecuteCommand as a workaround to send RNFR and RNTO to the server but the change on the Session.MoveFile feels like a regression to me.
It would be nice to be able to pass an argument to tell to the MoveFile method to check or not the existence of the file before moving it so you could keep the behaviour of the versions 5.11.1 & 5.13

OK, I understand that this caused you troubles. Though this all seems like a very obscure requirement.

Cannot you just upload the file to some temporary location (like /tmp), where you have permissions to read, and rename/move the file from there to the final location and name?
