#561 ftp fails due to incorrect pathname seperator in STOR cmd
I am using Compozer 0.8b1 with no addons running in Windows XP SP3.
FTP upload fails as shown in following console log extract:
------------------------------------------
257 "/" is current directory.
TYPE I
200 Type set to I
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (212,159,8,90,135,221)
STOR htdocs\index.html
550 htdocs\index.html: Permission denied
: /htdocs\index.html
-------------------------------------------
The remote host is expecting the pathname seperator to be "/" and when it is sent "STOR htdocs\index.html" it tries to create a file in the wrong directory (and in this instance it does not have correct permissions for this) .
I believe (but could be wrong) that it is the responsibility of the client to determine what seperator the server expects .
Some servers seem to cope with pathnames containing the wrong seperators .
Please see attached text file containing FTP Console log for:
i) upload to a server that does not cope
ii) upload to a server that does cope
Two ftp console logs
