Hi, I am forwarding Debian bug #131851 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=131851&repeatmerged=yes
I can reproduce it on 1.8.1. ---- When getting a file in a non-root directory from FTP with wget, wget always tries CWD to that directory before getting the file. Unfortunately sometimes you're not allowed to CWD to a directory, but you're all allowed to list or download files from it (taken that you know the filename). E.g. $ wget ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/fp/140/OFP_Upgrade_4_142.zip --10:03:06-- ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/fp/140/OFP_Upgrade_4_142.zip => `OFP_Upgrade_4_142.zip' Connecting to www.flashpoint1985.com:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> SYST ... done. ==> PWD ... done. ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD /fp/140 ... No such directory `fp/140'. But with lftp: $ lftp www.flashpoint1985.com www.flashpoint1985.com:~> get /fp/140/OFP_Upgrade_4_142.zip ---- Connecting to www.flashpoint1985.com (195.146.100.122) port 21 <--- 220 ProFTPD 1.2.2rc2 Server (ADT WWW access server.. protected by LEVEL II Secure System) [mrazik.adt.cz] <--- 230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply. <--- 550 /fp/140/OFP_Upgrade_4_142.zip: Permission denied `/fp/140/OFP_Upgrade_4_142.zip' at 67128 (1%) 10.5K/s eta:10m [Receiving data] (The site mentioned above is the official site of the commercial game Operation Flashpoint.) ---- Please keep the Debian Bugtracking System CC'ed. TIA. -- Guillaume Morin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Oh, that is nice out there, I think I'll stay for a while (RHCP)
