David Latorre commented on FTPSERVER-287:
-----------------------------------------
By Niklas Gustavsson:
One addition to this list, FileZilla works as described by Dennis.
Another one, proftpd prints full path, but does not support parent
directories (".." seems to be ignored). Does support home directory
paths, but translated them to absolute paths (from the root of the
file system).
All of this seems to be a mess, not sure that we conclude that we do
the wrong, nor the right thing at the moment. At least clients can not
assume anything and thus probably have to find the file names (without
the path) in whatever gets returned. Of course, the client knows the
path already, since it sent it.
Dennis, could you maybe describe some further on why you need to full
path and how your client interoperates with servers that do not full
support this (like proftpd which is a major player in this area).

> Key: FTPSERVER-287
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-287
> Project: FtpServer
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Environment: Fedora 10-64bit and RH 5.2-64bit, Java 1.6.0_12-64
> Reporter: Dennis Keller
> Fix For: 1.0.2, 1.1

> Attachments: nlst.patch

> The NLST formatter, as implemented on trunk is insufficient to handle any
> request other than a file within in the current working directory. Some
> examples:
> ftp> passive
> Passive mode on.
> ftp> nlist /directory/file.txt
> 227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,179,241)
> 150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
> file.txt
> 226 Closing data connection.
> Other FTP servers return the following:
> ftp> passive
> Passive mode on.
> ftp> nlist /directory/file.txt
> 227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,179,241)
> 150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
> /directory/file.txt
> 226 Closing data connection.
> Upon investigating, I found that the formatter will not handle absolute file
> requests, parent directory request or non-absolute child directory requests.
> It does not error, it just doesn't give useful output.
> I've modified the code to handle the cases that I could come up with, but
> there may be other situations that need to be covered. I'm not an expert on
> the FTP specification (but what I could find was not impressive), so there
> many be additional cases that need to be covered.
> Please consider the attached patch, with accompanying test cases
