Description Derek Tattersall 2001-01-17 15:48:59 UTC

when ftpcopy fails to copy a directory due to, for instance, no anonymous
ftp server on the  host, ftpcopy silently reports a return code of 1, but
does not write any helpful message to stderr.  On success, it writes plenty
messages about what is copied.

I've pointed the base package maintainer to this bug report.

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-01-19 15:01:10 UTC

Please reopen this if you can provide a test case; this isn't happening here.
ftpcopy -u user.does.not.exist -p testing ftp://ftp.redhat.de/ test
ftpcopy: USER response: 530 Login incorrect.
ftpcopy ftp://csl11.nrw.net/ test
ftpcopy: USER response: 530 User anonymous access denied

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2001-03-26 19:49:47 UTC

ftpcopy used to exit with code 1 and without any error message if
the remote directory to be copied is completely empty. This has been
changed for version 0.3.6 (it will exit 0).
