List Fails to display contents on z/VM 5.1

When I try to list the files nothing is showing up in the file list window. However, all the files are listed when I look at the "Raw Listing".

Thank you for posting.

If you could help us with the meaning of each column in the raw directory listing we can write a parser for it.
- What's the meaning of the 1 - 5 column?
- How to distinguish between a file and a folder?
- What column represents the size? If the size is in blocks, how big is one block?

Thank you for your time.

Ah. Thanks.

Can you post the raw directory listing after you sent the "SITE LISTF UNIX" command as well?

Does the LIST command with argument e.g. LIST -al work if the FTP server is in "unix" mode?

Is the length of the filename limited to 8 characters?

In the VM directory listing, is the time in UTC or local time?

Thank you.

Please try the latest beta version:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

It might be able to decode the VM directory listing. The -aL should be automatically removed as well. But due to lack of information and a test environment please don't expect too much :-)

Thanks

Thanks. Were you able to test the latest beta version as well?

-Mat

Yes, I did test the latest version and the list flags were automatically removed, but it was not able to translate the list when in VM file list format.

It works well in UNIX format.



Thanks. Were you able to test the latest beta version as well?

Please try again with the latest beta (.4). It should be fixed now:

Thanks.
