Serv-U FTP, Total Commander and Mode Z

[zissop]

I have Serv-U 6.3 as my FTP Server on Windows 2003. Total commander is working very well with it except one thing. Although I have enable MODE Z (for compressed transfers) on Total Commander and although Serv-U supports this, transfers are always been done uncompressed.

FEAT command on the FTP Server shows:

Code: Select all

feat
211-Extension supported
 CLNT
 MDTM
 MDTM YYYYMMDDHHMMSS[+-TZ];filename
 SIZE
 SITE PSWD;EXEC;SET;INDEX;ZONE;CHMOD;MSG
 REST STREAM
 XCRC filename;start;end
 MODE Z
 MLST Type*;Size*;Create;Modify*;Win32.ea*;
211 End

I think that Total Commander does not send the MODE Z command to initiate compressed transfers. When i execute this command manually from the command line, FTP Server sends files compressed but Total Commander does not uncompressed them (it does not understand that MODE Z has been used).

Is there a workaround? How i enable MODE Z to work properly?

Please check configuration - options - ftp whether mode z is disabled for servers on the LAN. TC may assume that a server is on the same LAN depending on the server's IP address.

I have already thought this so I had unchecked this option from the first place. Moreover the server is on a total different network, the IP addresses are not starting the same. No, this is not the reason

In order to test it i have created a test account:

Code: Select all

Host: www.protean.gr
username: test
password: test

Thanks, I found the problem. It's not related to your server. By mistake, MODE Z is completely disabled in TC7 beta. I will re-enable it in the next beta. It does work correctly in TC 6.55, though.

Thanks very much

I just downloaded the Beta 2, and still no MODE Z here... forgot to re-enable it?

Beta 2 was released on 22.12., one day before this error was reported here...
