hi Yil!, i hope you have a nice xmas. I was wondering if you please can nail this $user permanately. Check this post please: http://www.inicom.net/forum/showthread.php?t=12745

Thanks

Flow: I downloaded nxTools and took a really quick look. I believe it's entirely reasonable to not have the $user variable set in some situations and the script should not assume it's always set...

In particular it looks like the problem pasted in that thread is occurring during a call to "nxClose.tcl LOGIN" called from the FTP_Pre-Command_Event set on the PASS command. This is a somewhat special case for two reasons. As a PRE command no checking on the validity of that command has been performed yet since the script is given the first chance at approval, and second it's occurring before the user has actually logged in and thus guaranteeing a valid user account.

Thus there are at least 2 situations where $user cannot be set.

1) Someone specified a username that doesn't exist.

2) The highly improbably, but nevertheless possible, client issuing a PASS command without ever issuing a USER command.

The PRE command on the PASS event, or for that matter a POST event on the LOGIN event, must check before using $user to make sure it's dealing with a valid login attempt...

Now.....why do I feel like im in the middle of somethin. . Easiest for me i guess is just ignore the damn .log file.

Using my laptop and FlashFXP, i connect to USER 0 and USER 1 on ioFTPD, which is on my desktop! What i am doing is FXPing files that are on the same pc as ioFTPD to that same pc. reason i would do such a thing is to pass all my files through a zipscript. the FXP does well, however if i try to FXP two or more things at once, meaning 2-3 flashFXP open, it does ok but every now and then i get this in status

[R] 426 Connection closed: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

i seen this before and maybe talked about it but probally didn't explain it well. it doesn't happen near as often and not aggravating as it was before. i changed from ioSFV to ioNiNJA and i run no other scripts! my question is, is this a problem caused by ioFTPD by say trying to use the same port, or is this a script problem?

[Yil]

psa9: It's not a script issue, it's a TCP issue. When you go really fast through a lot of connections you can use up the passive port range before the TCP protocol allows the port to be re-used. Try making the PASV port range larger in ioFTPD.ini. That won't eliminate the problem, but should make it more rare.

You can even setup a second device / ftp service in ioFTPD.ini with a really large port range and connect to that locally for FXPing so as to keep the number of ports forwarded in the firewall small for the remote configuration.

On the other hand, have you considered a recursive site rescan? Or perhaps a standalone zipscript? That would save you having to transfer files...

Got some big problems here.

If i fxpd between drFTPD and ioFTPD with ssl on transfer. i get

Connection closed: Överlappad I/O-åtgärd pågår.

BUT if i transfer to glFTPD, then it works.
So i guess it´s a bug? but where i have no idea. If it´s drFTPD fault or ioFTPD´s =)

same here! but if i set "down (no pasv)" in the fxping options it does not happen anymore..

hi Yil,
I have directory permissions set to 777 because I need different users of different groups to race in the same dir
now I want to deny anyone from having write access to root dir but I got this error:

[R] site chmod 775 /
[R] 500 /: Permission denied.

I try this with ioFTPD account and chmod command works everywhere except in root dir


is it a bug?

[Yil]

ldm: Nope, works fine for me. Do you mount / on a drive letter instead of a directory? I.e. d:\ ? I could see where that might cause a problem. Is there a .ioFTPD file wherever / is mounted and is it writable?

thx Yil I just found the error

my default.vfs was:
"E:\site" /

I set:
"E:\site\" /

and now works!!

hi Yil
possible to disable !username? may be useful for shared accounts

[Yil]

pointBreak: There isn't a way to disable the !username feature. If shared users are fighting it out I'd suggest creating more than one account...

YIL once again you doing a great job!
Still i,m amazed to about the code you're doing.
Never seen this kind of addiction before
Lotsa coders could learn from you, You'r loyal to the ioFTPD users and i really appreciate that

O ye MERRY X-MAS and a HAPPY NewYear
