Simple bug: space as first char in FTP folder name

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Simple bug: space as first char in FTP folder name

Post by *Chesterfield »

If you (accidentally) create a FTP folder that starts with a space, TC creates the folder with the leading space. However, the visualisation trims the space and subsequent access is attempted by TC without the space, resulting in FTP 'not found' errors. FTP server is IIS.

You need to create a custom server type to handle this. FTP uses plain text for directory lists, and the parts like name, size, time, etc. are separated from each other with spaces. Therefore it's not always possible to detect leading spaces in names with the automatic method.
