FTP window error won't go away despite the connection to site is closed

Help & Support
1

I'm browsing over a FTP site, hit back to restricted area, a modal window pops up like this:

2021-11-02_204104

I keep clicking [OK] and it just reopens. I close the lister in hope that the connection is closed, but it just remains there. I need to close the entire Opus, then.

It's easily reproducible.

Any remedy?

Is there a public server that reproduces this? Or could we have a login to one which causes it?

This it the public Wordpress hosting site. I may share the information with you privately, since I know you from ages. :slight_smile:

I saw in the private message thread that you couldn't get it to happen anymore. Is that still the case?

Yeah. Looks like it has disappeared by itself. Very strange. The next time it'd happen, if ever, I'll pay close attention and make sure to understand what steps are needed to reproduce the error.

I was 100% sure that I would be able to reproduces it, and since I was busy I thought to got back on that later.

Something similar is happening again. I browsed through one of my web sites. The server has closed connection for some reason. I either closed the FTP tab or opened a local folder over it, hoping the FTP connection request would go away but looks like it's remaining open in a background trying to reconnect.

Sorry to bring the old thread back. Today I re-experienced it. It's very annoying as you can't escape the error message even if you somehow manage to get rid of an FTP lister for some other local folder. The only workaround is to force close Opus.

Here is how to reproduce the error:

  1. Go to some web hosting FTP site - you are safe as you are moving downwards through the folders
  2. But, if you accidentally move above your root folder and go to its parent, where your permissions are actually ineffective, Opus is persistent, instead of just to drop the case and move back to last know safe place.

This window won't go away:

The solution is to either wait for Opus to knock down itself or to force close it:

What's different now vs when you couldn't reproduce it anymore a year ago? Anything you can think of that would help us reproduce it here?

Yes. As I typed above, but let me redo for better clarity. I can now reproduce it.

  1. I logged on to my web hosting site via the FTP (Kinsta in my case)
  2. I go parent folders for as long as I can until I get the error
  3. I try to get back or to get rid of the lister altogether but the error prompt is persistent
  4. I need to force close Directory Opus

(Link to video sent in PM due to some privacy concerns, hope that's okay)

Same here with latest version. Cannot get rid of this annoying window:

What are the steps that make it happen for you?

From the screenshot, it looks like you're already in the root folder, which would mean the steps can't be the same as above.

Re the steps ones above, if anyone can private messages me to share access to a server that doesn't let you access the root, that might help us track down the problem. None of the sites I have access to, or can easily create with any systems I have, block access to the root folder.
