Description Markus 2007-02-05 19:57:56 UTC
Version:           3.5.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-Version 3.4.6 
OS:                Linux

When i create a new directory in my project with a small index.html the upload will fail because the new directory cannot be created on remote server(ftp). Quanta+ tells me that i should check permissions on the FTP. But it can't be a permission problem since other uploads to existing directories do work.

I tried to find the problem and here is what i found out.

First i tried to create the new directory on my local FTP to get a list of commands Quanta+ is using during file upload. On the remote server(FTP) a folder /doc does already exist, the new directory to be created is named "Test". Here's what my FTP server told me about the Quanta-commands:

[DEBUG] 257 "/" is your current location
[DEBUG] Command [cwd] [/doc/Test]
[INFO] Can't change directory to /doc/Test: No such file or directory
[DEBUG] 550 Can't change directory to /doc/Test: No such file or directory
[DEBUG] Command [type] [I]
[DEBUG] 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
[DEBUG] Command [size] [/doc/Test]
[DEBUG] 550 Can't check for file existence
[DEBUG] Command [cwd] [/doc]
[DEBUG] 250 OK. Current directory is /doc
[DEBUG] Command [mkd] [/doc/Test/]
[DEBUG] 257 "/doc/Test/" : The directory was successfully created

Please have a look to the mkd command. It looks like Quanta+ is using /doc/Test/ when trying to create a new directory. If i use these commands on the remote server(FTP) of my ISP/Webhosting service i get this:

ftp> size /doc/Test
 550 /doc/Test: No such file or directory.
ftp> cd /doc
 250 CWD command successful. 
ftp> mkdir /doc/Test/
 553 Could not determine cwdir: No such file or directory.


While using 'mkdir /doc/Test/' on my lokal FTP seem to work my ISP does misunderstand this command. If i want to create a new directory on my ISP's FTP i have to use:

ftp> mkdir /doc/Test
 257 MKD command successful.


A '/' at the end of the directory that should be created seem not to work on every FTP server.

Comment 1 András Manţia 2007-02-05 20:18:47 UTC
Can you create a new directory on that server with Konqueror using the 
ftp:// protocol?
Comment 2 Markus 2007-02-05 20:27:13 UTC
Yes, that works without any problems.

Comment 3 Markus 2007-02-05 20:35:17 UTC
I debugged this with my local server and Konqueror does not use a '/' at the end of the mkd command:

[DEBUG] 257 "/" is your current location
[DEBUG] Command [type] [I]
[DEBUG] 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
[DEBUG] Command [pasv] []
[DEBUG] 227 Entering Passive Mode (*******)
[DEBUG] Command [list] [-la]
[DEBUG] 150 Accepted data connection
[DEBUG] 226-ASCII
[DEBUG] 226-Options: -a -l 
[DEBUG] 226 2 matches total
[DEBUG] Command [mkd] [/Test]
[DEBUG] 257 "/Test" : The directory was successfully created
Comment 4 András Manţia 2007-02-05 21:11:44 UTC
Ok, this is new to me. Thanks for your help, I will fix the bug for the 
next version (3.5.7), but that won't appear soon. You will get a mail 
once it is fixed.

Hi...

thanks for the patch. I applied it to Quanta 3.5.6 and tested upload of new directories. Seem to work.
