Can't upload to FTP server that denies read access to directory

Help & Support

Hi, I'm trying to upload a file to this server, however it is not possible with Directory Opus (it works with fille zilla).
https://kb.sitecore.net/articles/862874

I think I configured it correctly but I'm geting this erros:

It looks like passive mode is failing. Have you tried turning it off? Is Filezilla using the same mode and other settings for the site?

(If needed, the first part of the FTP Doesn't Work FAQ has detail on how to toggle passive mode.)

After turning Passive Mode off, the response is as follows:

With File Zilla I get similar response, but it allows you to upload a file (the server does not list any files, you can only upload)

Status: Resolving address of dl.sitecore.net

(I've edited the thread title to help other people find it if they have the same situation.)

If the server returns access denied trying to read a directory, Opus will not be able to read the directory into a lister, so you can't make it the current folder.

You might be able to do it using a command that tells Opus to upload the file into a specified path (since that doesn't require loading the path into the lister first).

I think FTP servers with "upload only" directories are usually configured to return an empty directory listing in them, rather than fail.

I think that you can add some option to Octopus to do not hide lister in that situation.
