Description of problem: In FTP filesystem it is not possible to change to a write-only directories present on some FTP servers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mc-4.6.1a-12.FC5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mc 2. select `Ftp link' for either panel 3. enter `upload.sf.net' 4. try to change directory to `incoming' Actual results: An error box saying `Cannot change directory' and directory is unchanged. Expected results: mc changes to directory `incoming', though it is unable to display the file list there therefore it displays is as empty. Additional info: This is a regression, it used to work in FC3.
It seems to be fixed in the rawhide mc, where we have some more recent CVS snapshot of mc. At least I'm able to chdir to the "incoming" subdirectory with no errors. I see no files there though. The FC5 update is comming soon.
I can confirm mc-4.6.1a-16 (from devel) fixes it for me.
mc-4.6.1a-13.FC5 has been pushed for fc5, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
