Problem using ftp

[Lukas Grijander]

Hi.

I connect to an HP-UX 11.00 (64 bit) via ftp (ftp://xxxxx:yyyy@server) using Internet Explorer and the file names are formed with the hour of modification and the real name of the file. If I do the same with Netscape, the names are the permissions of the file.

I didn't notice any problem with other kind of ftp text client.

Thanks to all in advance.

Sounds like they're doing the moral equivelant of ls -l on the files and trying to extract useful information from them, but failing miserably. Perhaps the format of ls -l on your system is subtlety different than on other systems (like maybe the file names are really long, or the file sizes are really big, or something).

Thanks.
That's the first thing I though.
And it isn?t so far from the really answer.
I've found the solution: the problem is LANG, all services managed by inetd get the value of LANG in /etc/rc.config.d/LANG and in this machines, LANG has the value of es_ES.iso88591, so the result for ls -l is different when LANG is not set o has the value of C.

Bye
