From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Not every ftp server has a default working directory upon logon. When gFTP connects and logs on it issues a PWD command. When there is no default working directory, gFTP sees return code 450 and promptly disconnects, saying it will try again 30 seconds. This is wrong. gFTP should remain connected, and allow the user to use the drop down menus to manually change directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ftp to: sruvm.sru.edu 2. anonymous 3. Actual Results: Looking up sruvm.sru.edu Trying sruvm.sru.edu:21 Connected to sruvm.sru.edu:21 220-FTPSERVE IBM VM V2R4 at SRUVM.SRU.EDU, 12:59:21 EST THURSDAY 01/20/05 220 Connection will close if idle for more than 5 minutes. USER anonymous 230-ANONYMOU logged in; no working directory defined 230 File pool SERVER5 unavailable or unknown; SYST 215-VM/ESA Version 2 Release 3.0, service level 9902 VM/CMS Level 14, Service Level 902 215 VM is the operating system of this server. TYPE I 200 Representation type is IMAGE. PWD 450 No current working directory defined Invalid response '4' received from server. Disconnecting from site sruvm.sru.edu Waiting 30 seconds until trying to connect again Expected Results: gFTP should have left well enough alone and stayed connected after getting the 450 from the PWD command. Additional info: I'm setting this as "high severity", not because it crashes etc, but because it diminshes the usefulness of the program... there's no way to effectively use the ftp server if the server doesn't have a default working directory. 4xx erros from FTP means the condition is temporary and may be tried again..... so gFTP must not disconnect from the server in those cases.
