FTP server type definition string

[Schorsch]

Hello,

I have a problem defining the correct definition string for an ftp server.
The directory ls output is like this:

Code: Select all

  size          date       time       name
--------       ------     ------    --------
      10    Apr-22-2004  09:27:43   bin               <DIR>
     293    Apr-22-2004  12:05:50   test.conf
       0    Jan-01-1970  00:04:16   tmp               <DIR>
   13034    Jan-01-1970  01:07:24   myfile.txt

The only difference in the output between files and directories is an appended <DIR>

I tried to use the following:
Template1=S* TTT DD YYYY hh mm ss n* d
Template2=d= S* TTT DD YYYY hh mm ss n* d

Current observations:
- Template1 shows all elements as files, so the second Template rule seems not to be used. File access works already with Template1 alone.
- Adding Template2 doesn't change anything.
- If I use Template2 exclusively, everything is interpreted as directory.

Can someone help?
Thanks in advance,
Schorsch

Hi,

found the solution after checking the help again
Strictly aligning with the original output and avoiding * does what I needed:
Template1=SSSSSSSS TTT MM YYYY hh mm ss nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn d

So here you have another example for the definition strings.

Hello!
• Nice, that merits to be added in the Help (and Tutorial).
* Please, could you tell us what is the type of server in which that works ? Thanks !

Kind regards,

Hello,

sorry, can't tell you. I don't know the type, however
the definition string works correct.

Hello !
• In the FTP-log file (you must set it in Configuration >> Options >> FTP, you don't get one by default…), you might see a row like that :

Code: Select all

215 UNIX Type: L8

- If you have not it, I'll add your string in the Tutorial as "Unknown server, please try and pray… "

 Kind regards,

Hello Clo,

I think it's a proprietary servertype for testing, so if you like to add the string to the tutorial put it as 'unknown server' as proposed.

Best regards,

Hello Schorsch,

Strictly aligning with the original output and avoiding * does what I needed:
Template1=SSSSSSSS TTT MM YYYY hh mm ss nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn d

as far as I can see, your string is still wrong (you used month twice)

13034 Jan-01-1970 01:07:24 myfile.txt

results in :
SSSSSSSS TTT DD YYYY hh mm ss nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn $d

or even better :

$S* TTT DD YYYY hh mm ss n* $d
