Dave, you got it... Thank you!

With ftp://dave:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/../../, I get a listing of the root volume.

works...

and

put url "ftp://jiva%40hheonline.org:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/../../var/www/ formdata/guestbook.dat"

pulls down the data...


see below.

libURL is just fine ;-)

case closed.

Ok here we go with logs:

What happens when you you get the same url but with a single slash instead of a double slash? I'm guessing you will get the same result.

right, same result

Similarly, what happens in Rev when you get the same url, but with a single slash? Again, I'm guessing you will get the same.



== back to interarchy:

ftp://jiva%40hheonline.org:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//

right, same result

Again, do you get something different from Interarchy when you use a single slash?

right, same result... I always get thrown back to the USER home directory...

Here is a quick summary of how libUrl constructs the paths it uses in calls to an ftp server.


[snip]

If the current working directory doesn't match the path in the url, then libUrl prepends the current working diectory to the path in the url. So, for example, if I call ftp://dave:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Documents libUrl will also get a listing of /Users/dave/Documents.

I may be wrong, but I think this is how it should be.

Yes, probably so. I don't know much about these virtual servers-domains. When we got our new managed server I didn't expect, upon "create name based site" that it would generate an entire virtual server... "web sites on steroids" It's a model for those who are selling web space, which we are not... But I can see the advantages from a security point of view... it means I could delegate content management for a particular site to a remote user and he can really do much to my server, so that's a good thing. and locking in FTP call to a particular web site on the server must be what this is all about

If you want to climb back up the file hierarchy, you can use "../".

For example, ftp://dave:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/../ will return a listing of the /Users directory.

With ftp://dave:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/../../, I get a listing of the root volume.

That works!

Thanks again.

I think you should be able to get what you need in this way.

Cheers
Dave
