Problem with ftp to list a directory

[agey]

Hello all,

I wanted to use the connection ftp of Alfresco to upload files to the spaces. I use the version Alfresco 2.9C on Windows XP and MySQL Server 5.0. Alfresco is enabled for multi tenant.

I can connect to the ftp server of Alfresco and then list the directory. Returns two directories: Alfresco and AVM. When I want to enter the directory Alfresco, returns the error 550 Invalid path Alfresco but I can enter the directory AVM and list it correctly. Also, if in Alfresco exists a directory "spaceA" and I try to enter with the path /Alfresco/spaceA, then I can enter and lists it correctly. Which can be the problem? Why cannot I enter Alfresco and list it to see the spaces that exist in?

This one is the result returned in the console of windows:

230 User logged in, proceed
ftp>   ls
200 PORT OK
150 File status okay, about to open data connection
Alfresco
AVM
226 Closing data connection
ftp:15 bytes recibidos en 0,00 segundos 15000,00 a KB/s
ftp>cd Alfresco
550 invalid path Alfresco
ftp>cd Alfresco/"Departamento It"
250 Requested file action OK
ftp>ls
200 Port OK
150 File status okay, about to open data connection

226 Closing data connection

And this one is the result returned in the Filezilla:

The configuration of FTP Server in the file-server.xml is the following:

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="FTP Server">
     <serverEnable enabled="true"/>
     
     <!– Run on a non-privileged port –>
     <port>21</port>

   <!– path of the root directory –>
   <rootDirectory>/Alfresco/</rootDirectory>
      <!– FTP authentication –>
      <authenticator type="alfresco"/>
           
<!–      <debug flags="File,Search,Error,Directory,Info,DataPort"/> –>
   </config>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can someone help me with this problem? It is very important and urgent.

Thanks in advance.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm experiencing the same thing….

Hello mikew,

Yes, I could connect to the ftp of Alfresco in active mode. My Alfresco is not in the local network so  I have indicated the external ip of my local router (Filezilla have a option to obtain the external ip with a URL: http://ip.filezilla-project.org/ip.php) and the local ports to use in the connection. Then I have opened this ports in the local router forwarded to my local host.

I hope that it help you.
