TapForms FTP 550 Error

[logalong]

I am using TapForms (2.1.13) on an iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1.1) and am getting a 550 FTP error when navigating through the folder structure when I connect via FTP using SmartFTP (4.0.1254.0). I am connecting on port 8080.

When SmartFTP connects it is showing a root folder of TapForms. Listed underneath are a set of folders as follows: Audio Recordings, ocuments (note the missing ‘D’ – it isn’t a typo on my part), Photos, pinchmedia and Share. Files listed includes the TapForms_db.sqlite and backup zip files.

If I select the Share folder, SmartFTP keeps displaying 550 CWD failed messages for folder /ocuments/Share

The ocuments (Documents?) folder doesn’t show on the Web Server interface.

is there a fix on its way for this or something that can be done to get round the problem. I would wish to carry on using SmartFTP

Hi,

I’m not sure why the ftp software has problems with some clients. I use an open-source FTP implementation that I did not write. I realize you want to carry on using SmartFTP, but could you please try it with Cyberduck and see if that works better for you? You can download it for free from http://cyberduck.ch

Thanks,

Brendan

Cyberduck works OK

I have looked at the SmartFTP log which shows:

TapForms FTP server doesn’t seem to like the ‘OPTS UTF8 ON’ or ‘REST 0’ commands. Not sure if this is a cause of the problem?
