Title: IBM to Amiga FTP path error - convert '\' to '/'?
Post by: gizmomelb on January 08, 2006, 06:46:09 PM

can anyone please recommend an IBM Windows FTP client that correctly handles the "/" path descriptor that the Amiga uses?

for example: if I'm trying to copy the directory 'libs' from my IBM - 'c:\amiga\libs' it will end up renaimg the files in LIBS and for example, will give me 'DH0:LIBSfile.library' instead of 'DH0:LIBS/file.library'

You could try FileZilla (http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/) - it's free, open source and reliable... But I've not tried it with an Amiga FTP server...

Hi,

tried FileZilla with no luck.. FileZilla could not understand/handle the /DH0:/ file path of the Amiga.

I'll do fiddling with SMB on Amiga, or possible I need to FTP from the Amiga to the IBM.. see if that works.

I'm running AmiTCP v4.0 demo, and the standard FTP server which is included with that.

@gismomelb

Have a look at AmiTradeCenter (on Aminet). It's one of the best Amiga clients around.

Thanks JaXanim, but ATC needs MUI and I have a stock standard A1200 running classic WB 3.0 - not enough grunt or memory for MUI.

I ended up TARing the directories, FTPing them from the IBM to the Amiga root directory, then unTARing them on the Amiga.

Slow, but it works.

Try this from Aminet:
ftpd2.lha

It works great, I tested under Genesis and Miami(DX).

Genesis and Miami are the same as Amitcp 4. Onlywith a different GUI.
