[TC 11.51rc5] FTP: incorrect logging when using FTP Download From List

[white]

Here is what the FTP logfile looks like when downloading a Libre Office file from the ftp server tdf.mirror.liteserver.nl (anonymous login):

Here is what the FTP logfile looks like when using a download list with the entry:

Code: Select all

As you can see, the full path is used in the RETR command. This is probably deliberate and I think not a problem. However, I don't think the path should be included twice in the "Copied" line at the end.
(When uploading files using a download list, the path is not included twice but there is an extra slash character)

When deleting files, the FTP logfile can have entries like this:

Deleted (13-02-2025 15:43:41): ftp://ftp.example.com//test123.txt
Deleted (13-02-2025 15:45:27): ftp://ftp.example.com/test/test123.txt

It seems a slash is always added, even when the file is in the root folder.

Confirmed. The same function is used for download in background and download from list. In the first case, the name field only contains the file name, while in the second case it contains the full path, so the path is appended twice.

When deleting files, the FTP logfile can have entries like this:

Thanks, this only seems to happen in the root of the server (or user account).

14.02.25 Fixed: FTP log file: Sometimes there were dual forward slashes added to the Copied: log line when deleting (32/64)
14.02.25 Fixed: FTP log file: When using "FTP download from list..." the path to the file was added twice to the Copied: log line (32/64)

Tested OK using TC 11.51 32-bit and 64-bit.
