GetListing problem with a pathname containing whitespaces and a server only supporting LIST #755
Description
FTP OS: Windows
FTP Server: CompleteFTP
Computer OS: Windows 10
FluentFTP Version: 35.0.2
I am using FluentFTP as a client in the next update of my SyncFolder sync/backup app (available in Windows Store). When testing with various type of FTP servers I am getting an error with the CompleteFTP Manager server when using GetListing with a path that contains whitespaces, like: "/Home/user/My Music". The server returns no items and the log says: "550 Directory does not exist."
I tested with the command line ftp client in windows and found the following:
ls /Home/user/My Music gives error 550
ls "/Home/user/My Music" is OK
I tried various ways to overcome this, like:
GetListing($"\"{path}\""),
GetListing(path.Replace(' ', '+')),
etc.
None of those were successfull, so I think that something is missing here. I have seen the topic coming up in other issue discussions, but also there I didn't find anything pointing to a solution.
I could overcome this by first setting the working directory to the path of which I would get the list and then using GetListing with the NoPath option, like so:
if (!_workingDirectory.Equals(path))
{
_ftpClient.SetWorkingDirectory(path);
_workingDirectory = path;
}
var items = _ftpClient.GetListing(null, FtpListOption.AllFiles | FtpListOption.NoPath);
This successfully returns all files and folders in "/Home/user/My Music".
There still is however a small error: all returned items have a wrong FullName property. E.g. if there is a file music.mp3 then the FullName property is set to "/music.mp3" instead of "/Home/user/My Music/music.mp3". This I can solve myself in my code but might be an issue for others.
