FTP debate...
Hello, sorry in advance, I'm a first time poster and somewhat new to UNIX (Mac OS X) I've searched on your boards and have been unsuccessfull in finding information on this. I have found some info at Google but not enough to validate my stance in a debate.
I'm trying to FTP into a server and the responsed server gives me:
230-No directory! Logging in with home=/
I cannot perform a "ls" or "dir" without it hanging. Basically can't see anything.
The administrator also states that I don't have a "home" directory and once I log in I will be placed into a "shared" directory with other users. I've yet to successfully view anything.
The admininstrator has told me its my FTP clients or my firewall blocking FTP traffic. I've been unsuccessfully to log into his server with a number of FTP clients, command lines, 2 different locations, 3 different OS (Windows2000, Linux and MacOSX) and all have reported the above response.
I believe the error is Unix administrator issue and not my FTP clients (which all do work on different FTP sites) The administrator is stating that its not their site. I just don't know enough Unix to converse efficiently.
Who wins?

My two primary distros are Gentoo and Debian and I'm a fan of the older more traditional init system but as we all know Debian is moving to systemd. Not sure how impartial the crowd is here but I'd like to hear people's opinions. (4 Replies)
