Not compateble with KDE dolphin ftp client

[garywill]

Filzilla works fine as client. But when I use KDE dolphin as ftp client, I can't list files.

OK, I see two bugs here:

1. The client sends all commands in CAPS except for 'list', or 'list -la' -- the client should send LIST, but admittedly uftpd should handle mixed caps as well
2. Absolute path argument to uftpd seems to have stopped working

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it!

[troglobit]

Should be fixed now. If you have chance, I'd be grateful if you could verify the fix. Hopefully I can get a fully-tested release out during the weekend.

[garywill]

Thank you for the work!
If you upload a linux x64 binary to somewhere so I can get it run easily , I will be able to verify soon

[troglobit]

Uh, I'm not really comfortable distributing binaries to end-users ... but here goes. It's statically linked and packed with upx: http://ftp.troglobit.com/uftpd/uftpd

[garywill]

I tested it.
I can connect with dolphin. There's always an "a" in the path

However if I manually create a folder "a" in the path, it can list the files inside "a".

[troglobit]

Thank you for taking the time to test! Interesting behavior ... your cwd was /dev/shm/mem/ when you started uftpd, right?

Reopening

[troglobit]

Found it, uftpd only read "-l" and "a" became the argument to LIST. I've tested with Dolphin and it seems to work properly now, finally. There's a new binary uploaded as well, if you'd like to verify.
