  • Re: File base with FTP Name with dot in it?

    Hello Mark!

    Thank you for your reply!

    On 05 Apr 2022, mark lewis said the following...
    To my surprise, they seem to try to enter a /robots.txt subdirectory

    that's how they decide if it is a file or a directory... if it is a
    file, then they download it...

    Yes, I suspected that might be the case... I wonder, though, if they do anything special if the cd succeeds or if they just conclude "not a file" and skip it. (According to the spec, they shouldn't look for anything inside that directory, if it exists.)

    Best regards
    Bj”rn

    if the cd succeeds they do an ls to see if there's file and directories in it... if there are, they download them and continue walking through the directories...

    or if they just conclude "not a file" and skip it. (According to the
    spec, they shouldn't look for anything inside that directory, if it exists.)

    what spec is that?
