Hi,

I've just run some FTP tests using the latest 1.4 code and it worked ok here. I used Konqueror and command line FTP under Suse 10.1, and Firefox 2.0 under Mac OS X.

Cheers

Gary

Hi,

I am currently testing Alfresco, and have Community 1.4 installed from the Windows binary on a Windows XP SP2 system.

Muthu, I get similar results as you do when I FTP using Firefox. When I connect using Firefox 2.0: it works fine when using ftp://admin@localhost
I can go into subdirectories see contents of directories. However, when I use ftp://localhost, it asks for username and password, but it doesn't go past that.

When I use ftp from a DOS prompt, I can change directories and see files, no problem.

When I ftp from the shell prompt on a Solaris 8 server, it also works fine.

Have you tried with the actual IP address ? ( for ex: ftp://username@192.168.0.4/ ) .

I am using FC6 (both server and laptop ) , Alfresco CE 1.4 , Firefox 2 .

It works with Firefox 2 , but not with Konqueror ( says unable to enter the folder or something like that ) .

Hi rguinot,

The problem doesn't appear to be name resolution. The same behavior is observed for both using localhost and IP address.

If you try to login with a URI that does not include a password ( ftp://192.168.0.4 or ftp://localhost ), what is your result?
For me, after entering the username and password in a dialog box, it just hangs using Firefox 2 on Win XP SP2.

When I try to login using the same hostname (localhost or IP), but instead add the username to the URI, then after asking me for the password, the browser shows me the directory. ( ftp://admin@192.168.0.4 or ftp://admin@localhost ).
