My Employer migrated to a new FTP Server using the GlobalScape FTP Server product last week. My Windows Service that had been working with a GlobalScape FTP Server on the old server, could not download any files on the new server, even though files exist. FTP.GetItems.Count always returned 0.

So I tried using your WinForm Sample Client application. I got the same results. I set the Logging Level to Verbose and connected successfully. I can see the Directory names and Filenames listed in the logging window, but none of the Directory names or Filenames are listed in the left hand that should show the FTP files/directory names. The Verbose log does not show any errors or weird messages that I can see. What should I be looking for or asking my Corp IT to change/set for the FTP Server.

I can use the FileZilla FTP Client and see files and browse directories successfully.

This is caused by a bug in GlobalScape FTP Server's OPTS MLST command implementation - when the client requests specific facts to be sent in respnse to MLST/MLSD commands, GlobalScale EFT Server 7.1.x resets its fact list instead and only sends a file names in response to all subsequence MLST/MLSD commands. Interestingly, this bug was not present in older versions of GlobalScape servers.

This issue was recently discovered by one of our clients. I have already reported it to GlobalScape, but got no response so far. Hopefully, they will fix this soon.

In any case, the next release of Rebex FTP/SSL will feature an automated workaround for this server bug. In the meantime, download a trial hotfix (I sent a link to the full version to your e-mail.)

Users with active support contract, please send us an email to support@rebex.net and we'll send you a full hotfix version.

Lucas,

Can these be used with the 2015 R4.1 release?  I am getting an Trial License error when I have a licensed subscription of the File Transfer Pack.


Trial license key not set. Please go to http://www.rebex.net/support/trial-key.aspx to get one and start your 30-day trial period. ---> Rebex.MNB: Trial license key not set. Please go to http://www.rebex.net/support/trial-key.aspx to get one and start your 30-day trial period.

Hello, the link to the hotfix published here at the forum is a trial version only (because it is publicly visible to any forum.rebex.net visitor).

Lukas has sent a private email to you a few hours ago. The email contains link to download the full version. Please download from there and use these full hotfix binaries ("RebexFileTransferPack-HotfixBuild5771-Full-Binaries.zip") instead of the trial ones.

Tomas,

Thanks for clarifying that for me.  I am now able to successfully get a list of files from the Globalscape FTP.  

Thanks for the quick response and fix.
