UNIX to WINDOWS FTP

ladarlsan · #1 (**permalink**) 07-13-2009

Hi gurus,
I need to FTP files from a UNIX box to a WINDOWS server. FTP is running on the WINDOWS server.
I am able to log in to the WINDOWS machine with FTP, however when i do a dir in the ftp prompt i get the following

200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.

any idea why i am not able to see the WINDOWS folders.

When i do a cd c:\
i get "550 c:: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

Please Help

c is not a directory.

You apparently can only change directories on the physical drtive that ftp connected to.

try pwd to see where the heck you are.

FTP servers on Windows usually require the Administrator to specify a directory to be used as the "root" directory, which you can't ascend out of.

Use filezilla , then you will see all maps on c:
