Hi Michael, thanks a lot! I tried the ftpsrv app with Filezilla and it works much better now (I missed the update before, so maybe this is not really news).
Directory browsing with Filezilla as FTP client and mTCP ftpsrv as server seems to be no problem anymore. Thanks! And I especially like the precise logging of events to the screen of the DOS machine. I miss this in WATT32 ftpsrv32. Unfortunately there still seem to be some issues of mTCP ftpsrv with Filezilla: 1. When I try to copy a file with a long filename in Filezilla to the FreeDOS machine mTCP ftpsrv will not store it. Instead it responds with "550 Bad path". Filezilla translates this to "Critical error". In comparison, WATT32 ftpsrv32 stores it anyway and lets FreeDOS cut the name. 2. Another behaviour I saw: Successfully copied files are sometimes not listed automatically in the right window with the files on the server in Filezilla. So sometimes I have to push the refresh button. 3. Filezilla seems to show a random date of the files I copied to the server (neither the original date nor the actual one). If I stop the server and check them in FreeDOS the copied files have the actual date. 4. If I try to copy a file that already exists on the server, ftpsrv responds with "553 File exists already" which causes Filezilla to stop the transfer and say "Critical error". By default Filezilla should open its dialogue window which asks if I want to overwrite, rename or keep the duplicate on the server. Sorry to report this. Most of these bugs may relate more to Filezilla than to your FTP server. I work with Filezilla 3.3.1 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and use freedos in Virtualbox. BTW I have updated the mtcp files in the virtualbox image at http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/ :-) thanks again, regards Ulrich Hansen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
