Title: FTP: Unix Style directory listing
Post by: calgarykevvy on April 19, 2010, 03:27:13 PM
Hi All;

First a newbie question: can I search the forum threads here?  I don't know if my question has been asked before.

Anyway, I have a small machining biz and put in a DNS-323 hoping it would do an internal FTP job for me.  One of my machines uses a UNIX base controller and gets it's data files from an FTP server.  (I do not need internet access to it so security is not a concern)

I have the FTP server up and working and I can access it from my machine and Windows computers but my machine cannot read the directories.  When I had the FTP server setup on my Windows computer, there was an option called "Directory Listing Style" and the valid choices were "UNIX" or "MS-DOS".  My machine requires this setting to be UNIX.  If it was set to DOS my machine had the exact problem I have right now: it can get onto the the FTP server but can't "see" anything.

Anyone know how to get around this?  I'm a little surprised that a Linux box doesn't do this by default since the UNIX setting never affected any of my Windows computer's ability to use the service.

Thanks!
