My company has just purchased ws_ftp Pro and I've found a problem with it. We've use IBM servers running AIX 4.3.2. When I view a location (directory) via ws_ftp the information and files/directories to access are different from what is really available. An example:
Below is an AIX directory partial listings: -rwxr-xr-x 1 hannam suroot 193 Nov 06 2001 netstat.ksh -rw-r--r-- 1 hannam suroot 70 Mar 15 2002 simex_prices drwxr-sr-x 2 root suroot 512 Mar 15 2002 tscs -rw-r----- 1 hannam suroot 598158 Apr 19 2002 brent.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 hannam suroot 85068 May 22 16:38 prices.290402 drwxr-sr-x 2 hannam suroot 512 May 31 16:12 holiday -rw-r--r-- 1 root suroot 9002 Jun 06 22:08 cr.mjh When I open a ws_ftp connection to the server/directory above I can view, access files that have a timestamp with a time, eg, the holiday file. But for files with no time in the timestamp, eg netstat.ksh, that has Nov 06 2001 as its AIX timestamp, in ws_ftp the file is dated as 06/11/2038 00:00. Crucially the file cannot be ftped back to the PC, nor can it be viewed. In the viewing panel I noticed that the file has a space before the file name. When trying to ftp a 2038 file I get: 550 netstat.ksh: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. Transfer request completed with status: Failed, 1 SubItem(s) failed Even more, directories that don't have a time in the timestamp, eg, tscs in the above example, cannot be accessed. Errors are of the form: XCWD /home/hannam/ tscs 550 /home/hannam/ tscs: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. PWD 257 "/home/hannam" is current directory. Note again that ws_ftp puts a space before the directory name. Is this a problem with how ws_ftp view AIX directories? Unless this is resolved then we cannot use this program.
