Description Stefan Seyfried 2009-06-07 17:55:09 UTC 
Version:           4.2.86 (20090514) (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Konqueror's ftp:// protocol does not work with busybox's ftpd server.
The problem is konqueror's "list -la" request, which is against RFC 959 and which busybox does not like:

Jun  7 17:33:11 td2 daemon.err ftpd[400]: 257 "/"
Jun  7 17:33:11 td2 daemon.err ftpd[400]: cwd /usr
Jun  7 17:33:11 td2 daemon.err ftpd[400]: 250 Operation successful
Jun  7 17:33:12 td2 daemon.err ftpd[398]: cwd /usr
Jun  7 17:33:12 td2 daemon.err ftpd[398]: 250 Operation successful

Jun  7 17:33:12 td2 daemon.err ftpd[398]: 227 PASV ok (192,168,200,33,4,5)
Jun  7 17:33:12 td2 daemon.err ftpd[398]: list -la
Jun  7 17:33:12 td2 daemon.err ftpd[401]: -la: No such file or directory
Jun  7 17:33:12 td2 daemon.err ftpd[398]: 150 Directory listing


ftpd then returns an empty listing (because there is no file named "-la").

Just removing the "-la" from the "LIST" command should do fine.

I forgot: other people reported the same problem with older / stable konqueror versions, so it is not a recent problem.
Comment 2 Dawit Alemayehu 2011-03-15 19:55:27 UTC 
kio_ftp does do "LIST" without "-la" when the command with it fails ; so this issue seems to have already been fixed. See
