(solved: server problem) FTP download fails if filename has 3 consecutive periods

Post by *DataTraveler »

Steps to reproduce

1) Confirm that you are able to download binary files from your FTP server with TC
2) Add a file to the FTP server that contains three consecutive dots or periods in the name.
    Example :arrow: filename1...txt

    3) Try to download that file with TC 11.0.3

    I cannot confirm this either

    You suggest the filename: filename1...txt - but you ask us to make sure that we can download binary files. .txt files are usually not binary.

    Anyway - if I make a binary file with the name filename1...txt I can download as both binary and text file.
    The same if I make a text file with 3 dots - I can still download it as both text and binary file.

    It probably depends on the FTP server you try to download from. Try the same with a different server.
