Zaurus - I don't see any files

chrismcnally · 10-19-2002, 09:24 PM

Hi, I just bought FlashFXP, it works great with my Linux box, but now i cannot use it wotj my PDA/

I'm using Flash FXP to connect to my Zaurus, which is a handheld PDA running linux. it has a built in ftp server, and i have used WS ftp to connect to it, it does some kind of USB networking, the ip address is 192.168.129.201 and the port is 4242.

I tried turning off passive mode, and changing the list to show all hidden files. but still, i can successfully change directories, but there are no files in the file list. here is a typical log (thanks in advance for your help)

You need to uncheck show hidden files.

Thanks for taking a look at my post bigstar. I did that already though. let me clarify

I go into site manager, pick my Zaurus profile. and the box labled 'show hidden files' is checked. Then under the general options menu, click preferences, and choose the advanced tab, the List Method is set to 'show hidden files'

any ideas, what is LIST -al in the log i posted? is there any way to change that?

bigstar · 10-20-2002, 11:26 AM

it needs to be UNCHECKED, it's failing because the ftp server doesn't support show hidden files. LIST -al <- show hidden files. LIST <- normal

Thanks for your help so far, Bigstar.

OK, UNCHECK. so i start fresh after uninstalling FlashFXP and delete the directory, so now i have all defaults. I create a new profile. and i UNCHECK show hidden files on the profile. No more LIST -al but no files either (log is below).

I also included the wsftp log that works for the Zaurus

Lets try something.

From the menu
Directory > View Raw Directory

Can you please paste me a copy of that.

Perhaps FlashFXP doesn't support for the format.

chrismcnally · 10-20-2002, 02:51 PM

Thanks! you are so quick to respond, but I am not too concerned about this issue. if I cannot use flashFxP for the little Z, that is OK, it works really well with my Linux box where I do the majority of my FTP. I think someone will port an FTP server to the Z, because the current Qtopia one is not very good. Other than my Z issue, Flash FXP Its a very good FTP client.

That said I did the raw directory and i did not get any files. It gives me a blank box. Raw Dir works on other machines. I also did a manual get from the Z and could transfer a file that I knew was there.

It seems odd, since the other FTP seems to send the same commands. but you can see in the log that wsftp gets some bytes after the LIST and 150 response, and there is no mention of that in the FlashFXP log.

bigstar · 10-20-2002, 04:50 PM

hmm that's very odd. I'm not sure where to go from there.

That reply is from wsftp. flashfxp doesn't show that info.
