IBM to Amiga FTP path error - convert '\' to '/'?
« 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'

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.

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.
