550 PErmissino denied

Whenever I get one of these, ffxp stalls until I disconnect or timeout (site timeout).

ND- · 08-11-2002, 05:54 PM

that was supposed to be "Permission denied"...

It would be much more helpful if you pasted several lines of text showing the ftp error reply in context.

[19:36:28] 200 PORT command successful.
[19:36:28] STOR file.ext
[19:36:29] 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file.ext.
[19:36:29] RETR file.ext
[19:36:29] 550 file.ext: Permission denied.
[19:36:29] ABOR
[19:36:59] Transfer Failed!
[19:37:29] 421 Timeout (60 seconds): closing control connection.

The 550 is from the sender ftpd (200 glftpd 1.27_Linux).

The problem that i see it's that it takes 30 seconds to completely abort the transfer after the 550 message, then after another 30 seconds the server kicks you because timeout...

Can you make something when the "[19:36:59] Transfer Failed!" messsage appear or FlashFXP is completely stalled?

ND- · 08-12-2002, 02:43 PM

Guess the abort time is my problem then... and the fact that I talked without thinking about the abort taking time and not noticing that transfer failed came before time out. Think I'll keep a lookout for this problem and see if it's the same everytime.. or I just managed to paste one when it happend this way (prolly not... but then I don't look like a complete idiot, :P).

ABOR has a 30 second time out, which means it will wait a maximum of 30 seconds for a reply.

The ftp server you are transferring from isn't aborting correctly.

Below is what it should look like.

[13:09:41] (2) PASV
[13:09:41] (2) 227 Entering Passive Mode (x,x,x,x,196,123).
[13:09:41] (1) PORT x,x,x,x,196,123
[13:09:41] (1) 200 PORT Command successful.
[13:09:41] (1) STOR test.txt
[13:09:41] (1) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for test.txt.
[13:09:41] (2) RETR test.txt
[13:09:41] (2) 550 test.txt: Permission denied
[13:09:41] (1) ABOR
[13:09:41] (1) 426 Data connection closed, receive file test.txt aborted.
[13:09:41] (1) 226 ABOR command successful.
[13:09:41] Transfer Failed!

I performed several tests using several different ftp servers and in each test the transfer was aborted correctly.

I was unable to specifically test glftpd as I do not have access to one.

Now I remember (it happend again) what it was that I was calling a bug... after the "Transfer failed" it doesn't continue with the next file in que. It only resumes after the disconnect/reconnect.

bigstar · 08-12-2002, 04:55 PM

How long are you waiting? Eventually it should drop the connection and reconnect.

You mentioned that one server is glftpd, what type is the other?

ND- · 08-12-2002, 05:18 PM

Both are glftpd.
And I don't really wait.. I just let it sit and then I get the "transfer failed" "time out" and then the reconnect, then the next file in que gets transfered, instead of after the "transfer failed" which it does when something else goes wrong which prevents a file from getting transfered.

I assume ffxp is suppsed to get the 550, the abort, and then do the next file.
But instead it gets the 550, does the abort, then times out and do the next file when it reconnects.

bigstar · 08-12-2002, 09:05 PM

You should wait and see what happens.

Whatever the case may be, glftpd doesn't handle/like the client sending ABOR at that time. It seems to completely ignore it. Either that or the connection is totally hung.

Yes, it should abort and then go to the next file but glftpd isn't handling it correctly or atlest like all the other ftp servers do.

Perhaps if you complain to the authors of glftpd maybe they can fix it.
