MLST respone 550 FtpException

Question

We are receiving error 550 while trying to download a file.

FEAT command says MLST is available, here's the log:

11:05:26.074 Info Response: 220 ProFTPD 1.3.4d Server ready.
11:05:26.105 Info Command: USER XXXXXX
11:05:26.230 Info Response: 331 Password required for XXXXXX

11:05:26.652 Info Response: REST STREAM
11:05:26.652 Info Response: SIZE
11:05:26.652 Info Response: 211 End
...

And this is what happens when trying to download/check a file:

11:07:08.590 Info Command: PWD
11:07:08.731 Info Response: 257 "/reports" is the current directory
11:07:08.731 Info Command: MLST "Test Test.txt"
11:07:08.887 Info Response: 550 '"Test Test.txt"' cannot be listed
11:07:08.887 Error Info: Rebex.Net.FtpException: Could not find source path ('/reports/Test Test.txt').

at Rebex.Net.Ftp.WN(XG A, String B, TransferMethod C, MoveMode D, LinkProcessingMode E, ActionOnExistingFiles H)
...

Shouldn't the server understand the MLST command if it's in the FEAT list? Right now I don't really know what I can tell our customer - is their server configuration wrong or is it a problem caused by the Rebex library? We use version 2014 R2.

Edit: It works if there are no spaces in file names, e.g. 'Test.txt' can be checked with MLST and can be downloaded.

Answer 1

Hello,

this should be automatically solved in Rebex FTP/SSL 2014 R3:
"FTP: Fixed MLST quoting workaround for the ProFTPD server. It is now only applied in 1.3.2x versions of ProFTPD server."

I see that your support contract is expired, so please download the latest free trial and let me know whether the issue is resolved by applying the new version.
