ftp dir and pwd commands
Hi,
I have a conenction to remote server that I'm sending files too via FTP.
The problem I have is that when the file gets delivered it is 0 (zero) size.
I've manually connected and logged on. The only command I can successfully execute is pwd. When I do a dir or a put command it will hang until the connection times out.
I have tried extending the time, ensured the permissions are set and that there is disk space. Any ideas how I can write a zero length file, list the path but not be able to put a full file or list the directory?
Thanks in advance
