Version: 3.3.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1) OS: Linux When trying to login using ftp://login@vmsFTPServer.edu in the konqueror address bar, then after entering my password, I get the message "Cannot enter directory . ". I cannot see the FTP listing. Regular command line ftp and ncftp both work on this server. I just need an easy way to recursively get directories. GFTP can't see the listing either and ncftp's get -R * doesn't get the directories (only files like ftp's mget). The remote server is runnning: This is OpenVMS/Alpha version 6.2-1H3.
Forgot to mention, even Internet Explorer v6 works on this server.
That URL points to a non-existent host. We need a real server to test this on.
Sorry I should have put the url in quotes. I cannot give access to my university account. Perhaps someone at KDE as a openvms system running? If this is not possible maybe use regular command line FTP (http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dholland/computers/netkit.html) as a failsafe backend engine.
Also you might want to see someone else posted a similar error to gftp's bug list http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170524 and also possibly here http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157590 . It looks pretty trivial to fix, but no one has yet.
Can you do us a favour, then? Use the command-line ftp tool and paste the directory listing of a typical directory here. The listing format is probably different from what we expect (the output of /bin/ls -l).
