Hi,
today i noticed a strange behavior of the ftp vfs of mc (4.8.22 here),
maybe someone can explain.
I connected to the wifi ftp server of my phone, as i did often before:
ftp account: android at 192.168.0.242:2221
I was able to see the directories and change to the one i wanted to,
tried to put some files to my local directory. Mc said: can't read the
file, no rights to do so. I reconnected three times, all the same. Third
time i tipped Enter key on one of the (picture) files. Ftpvfs began to
load the file (counts up the bytes) and when finished, started gwenview
and showed the picture, could save it from there to my local disk. Strange.
Started plain ftp on cmdline for the account, went to the directory, ls
the files, all of r--r--r-- rights. No problem to download them to my
local disk. Tried to do so by mc oncemore: no rights.
The ony reason i can think of is that the bandwith of the wifi here is a
bit poor because of some iron between me and the AP. But why did load
the ftp vfs the picture then, when clicked?
