TCPIP - FTP lowercase

Peter Zeiszler — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 12:03:48 GMT

We are migrating systems from Multinet to TCPIP (5.5 eco1). In Multinet there is a logical that sets all MPUTs to lowercase.
"MULTINET_FTP_LOWERCASE_MPUT" = "TRUE"

Is there a corresponding setting in TCPIP?

I don't know of such a setting, but we are running Hunter Goatley's HGFTP in parallel to the standard FTP on another port. And HGFTP has an UNIX like mode (controlled by a logical name) which returns a LS listing the unix does (all lowercase, no version numbers).
See the attached example.

Peter, one other 'heads up'.

We used to run TCPWare which had logicals to control directory access on a per FTP account basis. TCP/IP has now such control, and relies completely on ACL's.

Because of this, we also swapped to Hunter's FTP Server, which does support logicals for permissions.

Guess its a feature not in there yet.
