Hi,
I recently connected my A1200 to my PC via ethernet. Just a couple of questions. I have two Amiga partitions...
dh0: (called workbench: )
dh1: (called work: )
Firstly when I connect to my Amiga via my PC (192.168.0.69) filezilla won't bring up the Amiga directory... but CuteFTP does.
Secondly, and more annoyingly ... If I set up dh0: as my starting directory it works fine, but then if I try to go into a sub folder from my FTP it doesn't work as it uses "workbench:" rather than "dh0:" , this is not just a PC problem as I have the same problem in DirectoryOPUS. Most floppies have the name "Empty:" if I open df0: it works, but again after this is becomes "Empty:" and I can't read a sub folder without doing df0:folder\
hope you understand this waffle ;)

maybe filezilla uses active and cuteftp uses passive FTP (or other way around)
-
no passive doesn't change anything...
the trouble is .. both Cute-FTP and Filezilla try to grab a directory listing of "work:" rather than "dh1:"
if I go in the folder window of the FTP client and change work: to dh1: it's ok, but I have to do this each time I change directory :(
cheers

The PC clients (or most FTP clients) have no clue about Amiga mountpoints/device names, so you have to question the ftpd you're running on the Amiga and figure out why it's being "smart" enough to substitute the names on directory references but "dumb" enough that it doesn't work.
