#27052 FRS directory for new project 'EN-OS' was not created automatically

[Endscape]

Hello,

I created a new project called "EN-OS" almost 24 hours ago (my username is endscape-coding). I can access the project's web interface and I have admin rights there, however, the project directory on the frs server has not been created. When I try to connect via SFTP/RSYNC to frs.sourceforge.net, the path /home/frs/project/EN-OS does not exist, and the /home/frs/project/ directory appears empty for my user.

This prevents me from uploading large release files. Could you please investigate and initialize the filesystem for my project?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.
By "does not exist" do you mean you don't see it?

We don't show the contents of some directories but they are still there.

Please try changing the directory.
Here is an example and additional information about it:

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response.

I am familiar with the documentation and the commands. The issue is not my understanding of the commands, but the fact that the target directory /home/frs/project/EN-OS does not physically exist on the frs.sourceforge.net server. I cannot change to a directory that isn't there.

Here is the exact output from my SFTP session, which proves that the directory is missing. As you can see, the /home/frs/project/ directory is completely empty for my user:

sftp endscape-coding@frs.sourceforge.net
(endscape-coding@frs.sourceforge.net) Password:
Connected to frs.sourceforge.net.
sftp> cd /home/frs
sftp> ls -la
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 34 Feb 3 2025 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 128 Oct 28 2021 ..
sftp> cd /home/frs/project
sftp> ls -la
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 13 2009 .
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 34 Feb 3 2025 ..
sftp> cd EN-OS
stat remote: No such file or directory

The ls -la command shows only the standard . and .. entries, confirming that the EN-OS folder has not been created.

Could you please check on your end why the filesystem for my project EN-OS (created almost 24 hours ago) has not been initialized on the FRS server? This is blocking my ability to upload any release files using SCP, RSYNC, or SFTP.

Thank you for your investigation.

Best regards,
Endscape

Hello,

Can you please try that last cd with en-os instead of EN-OS.

Hello,

Thank you for your help and the suggestion about the lowercase name.

That was indeed the issue. The directory was created under the lowercase name /home/frs/project/en-os. I was able to successfully connect and access it.

I appreciate your assistance in resolving this.

Best regards,
Endscape
