Opus ftp client not able to parse directory listing

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I'm using dopus FTP client to connect to multiman ftp server.

I don't know why but the opus client is not able to parse the directory listing returned by the server. Opus gives no error but the distrory listing is empty.

I have been able to log the format using a command line ftp client:

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful
150 Accepted data connection
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 258 Jan 01 00:59 .
drwx--x--x 1 root root 16384 Jan 01 01:00 dev_flash
drwx--x--x 1 root root 16384 Jan 01 01:00 dev_flash2
drwx--x--x 1 root root 16384 Jan 01 01:00 dev_flash3
drwx[nowrap]r[/nowrap]-xr-x 1 root root 512 May 20 17:56 dev_hdd0
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Jan 29 13:08 dev_bdvd
drwx--x--x 1 root root 32768 Jan 01 01:00 dev_hdd1
226 Transfer complete

Can you check why opus ftp has a problem with this format ?

Thank you.

That listing looks OK to me.

The settings on the Misc tab may solve things.

e.g. Try turning on the server-specific LIST command and specify "ls" in case something else is being used. If that doesn't work, try "ls -l". (Both without the quotes, of course.)

If there is a way we can connect to an example server, we could try looking at things from our end, but without that it comes down to guesswork and experimentation.

Toggling PASV mode may also help when directory listings don't work for a site.

According to this thread from a year ago, using "LIST" as the custom command works for that FTP server:
