nxTools v1.2.1

[DJZacharia]

I recently upgraded to ioFTPD 7.7.3.

Seems most features of nxTools (v1.2.1 w/ nxTools Tempfix 09-29-2008) work fine after the upgrade.

However, on 'SITE PRE' the directory's owner is not changed to the user "0" (as I have it configured in nxtools.cfg), rather the dir owner remains the name of the uploader. It is only the directory that is an issue. All the files inside the directory successfully change to user "0" (thus, the -R seems to work).

Any thoughts on how I might be able to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't use the PRE command so I've no experience with it, but I'm guessing things are sorta working if all the files are being updated. What about subdirs? Do they get changed?

We can probably add a line to nxPre.tcl to fix the issue or else we might need to tweak the GetDirList function if it's at fault. Everything else looks correct to me without running it though.

[DJZacharia]

Thanks for the reply Yil.

It seems that the sub directories also do not change, however the files inside the sub directories do.

I'm not familiar with tcl, so your help is much appreciated

I pulled out the bit of code that sets the directory/file owner and everything seems to work fine for me... Does 'site pre history' show the entries?

I did see an issue if the directory is hidden/private because I broke [vfs get/set] a while back, but the directory itself would have to marked that way and not just a parent. Since regular users can't hide dirs I can't think that's the problem...

I wonder if anyone else can confirm it works or doesn't work...

[DJZacharia]

I tested 'SITE PRE HISTORY' and all the recent pres showed up--so that seems to work.

Could this possibly be a Windows 7 issue?

remove one who = from ioftpd.ini maybe drop the io one

There is another possibility that come to mind that deals with caching issues. nxTools copies the directory over to the target including the .ioFTPD* files which contains the permission info, then changes the ownership. In my mind it should do that in the opposite order, but no biggie. Given that order, the first potential problem deals with a known bug in the way the directory entry for a subdir isn't properly invalidated in the parent. This usually shows up in the common problem of the directory info (size, perms, etc) being wrong when viewed from the parent which is how users almost always view directories. The way to see if this is the problem by viewing the raw directory instead. In FlashFXP goto directory->View Raw Directory while in the directory and look at the first line for the "." entry (current directory). This is the actual permissions, owner, etc used by ioFTPD internally. Is this correct? If not, issue 'site refresh' and re-list to force a cache update for the directory and see if it changes. If it does then we might have a new problem I'm not aware of or the bug is actually in nxTools.

I'm assuming that all worked correctly, BUT you normally only see owner, timestamp, etc when viewing the directory as a subdir and that DOES have a known bug (not sure when it got introduced) which is already fixed in the next release of ioFTPD. The simplest way to test this is from the parent so just issue 'site refresh' and re-list and see if you pick up the correct info...

[DJZacharia]

I followed your instructions, unfortunately the "." was listed as the user who initially uploaded the directory that was PREd. All other files were set to user "0." So it doesn't look like a cache issue.

I forgot to mention, that if I test PRE an empty dir, then the PREd empty directory does CHOWN correctly. So this issue only occurs when files are within the dir.

[DJZacharia]

My other thought is, would it be possible to create a small script (as a temp fix of sorts) to do a CHOWN after the 'SITE PRE' command is issued?

Is anyone alive here to fix this: nxtools 1.2.1 (site pre + runtime error)

or script still supported ???

Hello

i was wondering if there is any possibilty to have dupe log "Folders" and "Files" but only Dupecheck for "Folders".

i want to be able to dupe search for files via fdupe. BUT sometimes or many times filenames will reoccur in different releases and that makes alot of incomplete releases. and a lot of work unduping.

se best way would be if i could set dupecheck to LOG all files and folders. but only check and deny against Folders.


maybe there is a way in nxdupe.tcl i could edit to achive this. since the nctools.cfg only allows to turn on or off for dupecheck and dupelog.
