[BUGFIX] Server: Fixed date Variable parsing

---

Hi,

1st issue
I currently am checking the 213 error and now the same job gives me:


So i do not get the 213 error anymore, it's now another. But downloading runs for a long periond (longer than the previous beta)

2nd issue
I have an other issue, If I download everything from a ftp site with subdirs, and one of the dirs is not readable for me, I like to see a message in the log, but I don't like that the task stops. Is this the way it should be?

3rd issue
I have a FTP server where I download all the files inc subdirs.
After a while I get this error:



rerunned the same task (skipping already downloaded files is a ftp setting):


Third time running the task complets flawless.


So there are still some issues open for this beta.

If you need any help, please contact me.

Regards,
Erik

I am not sure if this is specific to the beta - probably more specific to your Server. I mean, error 213 must always have been a problem (because it is a non-standard response).

Is it possible that we can connect directly to your server?

Hi Henrik,

This has fixed the multiple variables issue I was having, thanks!

Although, downloading from ftp I am getting the following error:

Levi, do your FTP server file system allow blank spaces in file names?

---

I'm not sure Henrik, this was working with build 5.3.3, what did you change for 5.3.4 ?

Levi's FTP server is an IBM iSeries. On i5/OS the first command (CWD, GET, PUT, etc.) determines whether you are using the LIBRARY.FILE(MEMBER) naming convention or the /unix/like/naming/convention. The default is 'NAMEFMT 0' (LIBRARY.FILE(MEMBER)) but if a command is given that starts with a slash, it automatically switches to 'NAMEFMT 1' giving the 550 status message.

This is another issue where being able to send a custom command (like SITE NAMEFMT n) before the actual transfer could be very helpful.

Hope this information is helpful.

Levi, please attach the log instead as the format has been destroyed in the forum (blank spaces) or send the log file to support@visualcron.com.

Hi Ernst,

if this is the case, that a starting slash sets NAMEFMT 1 and gives error, why does it not fail earlier - in the log, this is not the first time it changes folder that way. Just seems as simple as the folder does not exist?

Hi Henrik,

You are right, absolutely right.

I was blinded by the well known message "NAMEFMT set to 1." and didnt see it was a status code 550 instead of the normal status code 250. 😊

However it is still correct, that if the first CWD, LIST, RETR or STOR command issued references the IFS (Integrated File System), the i5/OS FTP server automatically switches from NAMEFMT 0 to NAMEFMT 1.

The two examples below show the difference between CD'ing to an existing directory and a non-existing directory on an iSeries with i5/OS V6R1M0. So levi's problem must be that some part of the '/reports/branch304/20091014' path does not exist.


Switching to an existing directory:
[C:\Temp]ftp 192.168.140.xx
Connected to 192.168.140.xx.
220-QTCP at dkxxx002.xxx.dk.
220 Connection will close if idle more than 5 minutes.
User (192.168.140.xx:(none)): dswxxx
331 Enter password.

230 DSWXXX logged on.

250-NAMEFMT set to 1.
250 "/tmp" is current directory.

Hi Henrik,

You were correct, the folder did not exist as I wasn't able to VPN into my desk I couldn't see if the folder was actually there.

Sorry for any troubles :)

No problem, actually we will soon add a built in ftp browser so you can easier test and see things.
