Summary: Can not access Series 3c using plpfuse

Initial Comment:
I could always access my Series 3c successfully using plpnfsd. However, today I came to compile the new PLP Tools as the old one doesn't compile on my system, only to discover plpnfsd has been replaced with plpfuse. After figuring out that I needed to install fuse before compiling, I tried it out. I can view my M:, but I can't access any files - it says Input/output error.

With debug, I get:

   unique: 37, error: -5 (Input/output error), outsize: 16
unique: 38, opcode: READ (15), nodeid: 5, insize: 64

That would be great. 0.19 is the first version with plpfuse, but as I
said, I doubt that's relevant (although it's of course possible that it has
other problems with Series 3). I would try plpftp in each case.

I'll do that, but maybe not today - I'm curently backing up my computer,
which was why I wanted the Psion backup first. Which was the first version
to use plpfuse instead of plpnfsd?

Could you possibly discover which is the earliest version that doesn't
work? I think that would be the quickest way for me to find a likely fix;
as far as I can see there have been no non-trivial changes to the ncpd code
since 0.16, so the bug is probably in some seemingly trivial change. I
would suggest a binary search, i.e. try version 1.0.0 first, then work
backwards or forwards as necessary, roughly skipping half the versions each
time.

If you turn on debugging for ncpd do you get anything in the relevant
error log (for me it's /var/log/debug)? If plpftp doesn't work it suggests
the problem is not in plpfuse. I presume that plpftp at least prints a
startup message? Does it not give any error?

plpftp just does nothing. It doesn't run any ftp comments passed as
parameters or give a prompt.

I'm sorry plpfuse doesn't work for you. Does the latest version's plpftp
still work? It would be nice to know where the bug is. Unfortunately I
don't have an EPOC16 device to test with.

I've now tried 0.16, and that compiles on my Fedora system and
(thankfully) still uses plpnfsd. All my old scripts for connecting and
backup now work as they should!
