Tk Library Source Code

When connection to a windows server
whith ftp::Open ...

Then:
ftp::List $h "filename-which-does-not-exists"
--> error     error | E: Error receiving list!

When I add try with "x*" no problem. 
An empty string is returned: meaning no file starting
with x.

When I connect to a Solaris server:
ftp::List $h "filename-which-does-not-exists"
works fine (without adding the *)

Uh. In other words, the windows server sends a failure
status code when you try to list non-existing files, whereas
the solaris server is happy to report that it is happy, the
list of matching files is simply empty.

And the ftp package in turn is not happy with the failure
status reported by windows. :(

I had hoped it was something quickly fixed for the release.
Now I am not sure. Ok, no fix for this release.

I do not think it has anything todo with the 'spaces' problem.

I noticed in the output that the return-code with the ftp
list command was 
226 on solaris - Closing data connection. Requested file
action successful (file transfer, abort, etc.).

550 on IIS - Requested action not taken. File unavailable
(e.g., file not found, no access).

Thanks for the effort!

So the Windows and Solaris ftp server generate different
outputs in response to the request, right ?

Please try to capture the commands sent by the package, and
responses received, and attach the resulting log to this report.

Note: We recently fixed a problem in NLIst regarding the
handling of 'spaces' in filenames. Could this be a similar
problem ?

I.e. not a true difference between the windows/solaris
servers, just filenames with spaces in them returneed by the
windows server ? This can be tested by creating some files
with spaces in their name on solaris and making sure that
the solaris server sees them ... I think.
