FileZilla not working with Tru64 V5

[Geert Van Pamel]

FileZilla does not work with Tru64 UNIX V5.

It works correctly with Tru64 V4.

Please advice. Here is the log file:

Thanks, Steven.

dupatch does only exist on Tru64 V4, not on V5.

When I am using any other FTP program (from the console of another system) it works. It only fails with a FileZilla client, and systematically on all other Tru64 V5 systems I have.

(from console FTP program)
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list (10.111.0.104,4150).
.cshrc
... etc
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 218 bytes received in 0,00Seconds 218000,00Kbytes/sec.

I have found a related problem report at http://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/5200

When I compaire the console-FTP version with FileZilla, I remark that FileZilla fetches the directory listing in BINARY mode instead of ASCII.

This appears not to be a problem for Tru64 UNIX V4, but apparently fails for Tru64 UNIX V5.

The question remains why FileZilla requests a BINARY directory listing???

[Geert Van Pamel]

FileZilla is not following the standard, but Tru64 UNIX V5 should compensate this fact like it did in V4.

We decided to use Windows File Explorer with Samba Server.

If needed we will use another FTP client.

Thanks for your advice and references!
