Hi.
I just identified my problem with symlinks on ftp protocol.
This code in ftp.c is most likely causing the problem:
case 'l':
ch = strstr (fname, " -> ");
if (!ch)
break;
ch +=4;
if (ch[0] == '.'){
^^^^^^^^^^^^
len = len_h+len_p+strlen(ch);
udm_snprintf(buf_out+cur_len, len+1, "<a
href=\"ftp://%s%s%s/\"></a>",
connp->hostname, path, ch);
}else{
len = len_h+strlen(ch);
udm_snprintf(buf_out+cur_len, len+1, "<a
href=\"ftp://%s%s/\"></a>",
connp->hostname, ch);
}
...
What is the reason for checking for links to /^\./ files?
On our ftp, we use links to files starting with a . to avoid listing
the target paths in a normal ls.
Here is an example listing:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 51 Oct 13 15:26 solaris ->
.mirror-sites/ftp.tuwien.ac.at/sun/solaris/packages/
drwxr-xr-x 2 705 1000 4096 Jun 22 14:15 ssl/
drwxr-xr-x 2 705 1000 4096 Nov 1 10:28 suse-linux/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 40 Oct 13 15:26 tex ->
.mirror-sites/ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc2/ctan/
drwxr-xr-x 3 705 1000 4096 Nov 6 23:02 windows/
Does anyone understand why this check is done. And what
happens when it finds a link with a target of ^\..*
