inetutils ftp "553 File name not allowed"
Hello, I am having issues transferring music to Foobar2000's music folder on my iPhone via ftp. previously, I was using Filezilla for this and it worked perfectly so I know that my file names are legal. some googling turns up that the issue might be with the path of the site: Linux for instance uses the user path instead of a universal FTP path, which I don't think is applicable here (the host is an iPhone). using ftp as root (which i know is bad practice) didn't change anything. the files I'm trying to move are on an external drive mounted to /mnt (which otherwise is working beautifully).
connecting to the server returns this success message: Code:
Connected to xxx.xxx.x.xx. Code:
230 User anonymous logged in Code:
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection Code:
200 PORT command successful |
Maybe: debug/verbose (ftp options)

My web search: intitle:ppftpd iphone ios app did not match any documents, So maybe a more carefully detailed description of exactly what you're doing, such that anyone could reproduce it, would be helpful!!! If you find a solution, please post it for future web searchers (and mark the thread solved) |
More testing seems to confirm that it's possible that spaces in file and directory titles may be problematic. Using quotes as is standard doesn't work either. This also wasn't an issue with Filezilla. if this is the problem, is there a way to patch this, or another (preferably command line) FTP program that doesn't have this issue? (one of Filezilla's requirments 404's right now.) Previously, I was trying to move files I was using wildcards with
Code:
mput Code:
ftp> put /mnt/CONTENTS/MUSIC/*/*/*/*/*.mp3 Code:
ftp> put /mnt/CONTENTS/MUSIC/downloads/The/'The Skies Beg to Differ'/'[1996] The Skies Beg to Differ'/'03 - Bumblebee.mp3 Code:
ftp> put .xprofile Quote:
sorry if this was unhelpful. if there's one aspect of computing I'm most clueless about it's networking. black magic. Quote:
