Hi!

Here is what I got from an VFS user:

I have one last quesion that I wanted to ask to one of the Commons Net
developpers because it does not appears in the FAQ I read. Here it is : We are using the library to access a FTP server running under Windows and
when we list the files in a directory, read only files are not listed !
In fact, is the list method of the FTPClient was issuing an "ls -a" command
then the library would receive all the list. Here it seems that it issues
only an "ls -l" command. Is there a way to say which command should be used
when using the list method ? or should we build ourselves the command
string, then send it to the server, and parse the results list ?


What options do I have to issue a "LIST -a" instead of "LIST"?
Or are you interesed in an patch which adds a method "FTPClient.setListHiddenFiles()"?

Thanks!
Mario

Hmm. This is a new issue and should probably be logged as such. I wasn't aware that FTP under windows behaved that way. Under unix, files are listed without regard to permission. And read-only files are not the same thing as hidden files (although Windows FTP may be treating them as such). Sounds like a bug in Windows FTP.

Is there a way to retrieve hidden files separately from read-only?

This issue requires further discussion although we would be interested in your patch.
