Doesn't show anywhere near all the files

I've got a server running proftpd, and one of the people I'm hosting said that when they logged in with smartftp, they only saw the folders dev, sys and proc. and I knew that wasn't right, as someone else I'm hosting who uses a different client has everything working fine.

so I decided to download smartftp and see what was the matter. I've tried 3 different versions: 2.0.995, 2.0.995.10, 2.0.995.11. and I've played around with options (listing options, upnp, cert, caching) and still can't get it to work

here's the smartftp log and the raw directory listing, along with a screenshot of smartftp, putty, and the command line ftp

Please post the complete log from your FTP session. The directory listing part is missing in the log you posted.

If you look at the following line:
drwxr-xr-x 9 dan dan 4.0k Mar 3 08:16 public_html

You see that the size part is not in bytes as the SmartFTP client expects it to be: 4.0k
It should be 4096 instead. I doubt that many FTP clients can handle this non-standard listing format correctly. The command line FTP client just shows the raw directory listing.

Hello ..

Test it again with the latest version:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

It's not very wise to set the -h switch in the LISTOptions of your proftpd.conf.
Reasons:
- Size value is not byte accurate. Therefore the size information is kinda useless for the FTP client.
- All FTP clients I have tested have some problems. They either show the size as 0 bytes or the size is not calculated correctly.

Regards,
SmartFTP
