(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: KDE 2.2.2 Severity: normal Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified When I login to the ftp server ftp://141.44.96.12/ and try to change to one of its subdirectories by clicking on them I get the error "you don't have permissions to read the directory ..." (translated from German). However if I append the directory name in the location bar konqueror changes to the directory without problem. The FTP Server is the obviously broken "Microsoft FTP Service (Version 2.0)". NcFTP shows: ncftp / > ls -l d--------- 1 owner group 0 Okt 16 09:50 Aushang d--------- 1 owner group 0 Apr 6 2002 Handapparate Konqueror seems to think that the permissions given by the server are right and does not even try to execute the users action. I believe I have seen a similar bug even on a local filesystem a year ago but that might be fixed already... Thanks for konqueror and keep up the great work! (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)

Err so it's Konqueror that gets the bug report and not Microsoft for its broken FTP server ? I love the open-ness of opensource :} What is Konqueror supposed to do here ? Not care about permissions at all ? -- David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com faure@kde.org http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE 3.0: Konquering the Desktops

It should "trial and error".=20 First try to do what the user wants and if that fails interpret the error by using information it has gathered before. In this case IMO it should not only tell me that I don't have the permissi= ons to do something but also tell me what the required permissions are. --=20 Thomas Tanner ------------------------- email: tanner@(gmx.de|ffii.org|gnu.org) GnuPG key id: 1024/5924D4DD=20
Just as a note, this problem is probably not exclusive to the FTP ioslave. I think it belongs to another package.

I have got same probelm for few years - rather on not broken ftp server (it's Novell I guess) - try ftp://ci-1.ci.pwr.wroc.pl Konqueror or KBear (or any other app using kio-ftp) and GNU Midnight Commander (yeah, it's odd) denies to enter any directory. Mozilla, lftp, gftp, kasablanca - and I suppose other clients - they all have no problem entering directories. For me, personally I have only anonymous access to that server (as a student), but authorization of our teachers it's known to work.

OK, I fixed (for 3.4.1) the parsing of Netware FTP servers, so that files don't all appear with a lock (no permissions). This was in fact bug 76442. About #36055: permissions like "d---------" create a more complex problem, since it *could* be the case that a valid Unix listing returns that, whereas the Netware case is easier to handle, there we know for sure that the permissions are unknown.
I'd say check the first few items. If all are 000, then replace with 555 and set a flag "broken listing".
> I'd say check the first few items. We treat them as they come - so after the "first few" it's too late to go back and change the already emitted items... > If all are 000, then replace with 555 OK it's indeed unlikely that anyone would have many items with no permissions for anyone [but root], indeed. > and set a flag "broken listing". Where and with what purpose? Anyway, that site is down, so I'd need a new server to test against.
> > and set a flag "broken listing". > Where and with what purpose? The flag is supposed to be a cache, so that we don't test the file permissions everytime. Once is enough. Ok, let me be a bit more detailed: When the first entry is received, if it's 000, check the "broken file listing" flag - if it's set, change to 0555 - if it isn't, switch to test mode: queue up the first few (5?) entries and check if all have permissions 000. If they do, change to 0555, set the flag and send them.
Too old a report and the MS FTP servers these days work fine mostly.
