Joey,
I,
too, have been monitoring this list for a while and have seen bloody few
messages exchanged. (In fact, the majority of them have been "Out of
Office" or "On Vacation" or "Acknowledgement of
Receipt" messages. ;-) I have concluded that either WS-FTP is fairly
intuitive or else there is not a lot of "community support".
In
this particular case, I think the issue lies (at least from what I can
interpret) in the following:
get
"FILE NAME WITH BLANK SPACES" " c:\Program
Files\Whatever\Whatever.pgp"
There
is an extraneous space in front of the "C:\ProgramFiles . . . ."
I
can't guarantee that this will work any better but I do know that I have had
problems with other applications when there was an extraneous leading space in
a quoted file name.
Respectfully,

(or Jim) I can't really tell...
FYI :: I've been monitoring this list for over 6
months and have only
seen about 6 emails go over it
Anyway, just curious about this scenario, you said
you tried logging in
manually with a gui based client, right?
Does it have a log that you
can see how it interprets the files names with
spaces?
Have you tried logging in manually from a command
line either with wsftp
or plain ole FTP, windows or *nix ? Does
that work for you? If so,
surely you can script those steps, eh?
Just my $.02 (pitching in)

Hi Jim,
I get emails on various topics, which makes me
think I must have
registered, but when I went to the IPswitch site,
I couldn't log in. So
I registered and posted a problem I'm having with
a WS_FTP Pro script.
If there's a better way to address this email
forum, please let me know
and I'll follow proper protocol/methodology.
Below is the forum message I posted:
I'm using WS_FTP Pro, version 8.0.2003.05.23.
I get repeated error messages attempting to
downloaded a file via a
script I wrote. If you don't want to ready
through the script or log
file, please see see below them for the testing
I've done, which I
stronly suspect cuts to the heart of the matter.
Here's the script, (names changed for security
reasons):
TRACE c:\Program Files\Whatever\TraceGet.txt log
c:\Program
Files\Whatever\TraceGet.log connect
"MySites!Whereever!BAI"
get "FILE NAME WITH BLANK SPACES" "
c:\Program
Files\Whatever\Whatever.pgp"
close
Here's the resulting log file:

I've tried a number of variations of the "get"
command in the above
script, including directly referencing the entire
path, (although loging
in with the above profile places me at the proper
folder and should only
require the file name). I've also used/not
used quotes, due to the file
name having blanks in it (nothing we can do at our
end about this), all
with same results.
PLEASE NOTE AS THE FOLLOWING IS VERY TELLING!
I've tried logging in
directly using the same profile I reference in my
script. Here's what
I've found:
Login works fine, placing me in the correct path
folder by default.
If I highlight the file name and click on the
green arrow, VOILA!, the
file gets transferred to my local hard drive.
BUT, when I don't highlight the file and click on
the green arrow, and
get a screen prompting me to type in the file name
I want to download,
it FAILS! Checked several times to make sure
I'm typing the file name
correctly, tried with and without quotes, etc,
just as I mentioned I
tried in the above script, etc, with same results.
Thanks ahead for help.

Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] Questions about WS_FTP
Server 5.05 using SFTP
from Linux / Unix
Reply-To: [email protected]
I've installed WS_FTP Server 5.05 on a Windows
2003 server. Not being
familiar with the configuration of the server, I
had to change the FTP
directory in the Server Manager General Settings
window to a new drive
letter
and new subdirectory, let's call it
"F:\foo\bar" for purposes of
discussion.
This directory will be used by up to four
different users that will be
sending
log files from a few Linux servers. The
Linux users are "linuxuser01"
and
"linuxuser02" for purposes of
discussion, and these users were added
during
the initial WS_FTP Server installation.
Now, my questions:
1. How to specify the "F:\foo\bar"
directory from the command line on
the
Linux machine? Not sure how "ftp"
can be told to interpret "F:\foo\bar"
on
the remote server, since we're required to use F:
as the FTP target
drive.
2. Where would the id_dsa.pub file (generated by
ssh-keygen on Linux) be
placed or loaded on to WS_FTP Server to support
passwordless logins from
"sftp" on Linux or Unix clients?
Thanks!
