Hi.

Has anyone an idea, why choosing almost all directories I'm getting the error that the directory is unreachable ?
Himalaya is the only I can enter, but the sub-dirs are also unreachable.

And interesting enough, the Alpine directory doesn't exist anymore, but is a file with 1KB ?

Have a nice day,
Chuck

Maybe a localy problem. It's working for me fine.....

Servus Stefan.

Yes, you're right.
Using IE solved this porblem. Perhaps my Opera security restrictions have been too severe :roll:

Thanks & regards

I noticed earlier that when I was browsing the XDA roms directories in my FTP client, if I tried to send a CDUP command (to navigate to the parent directory) it wouldn't let me (Error 550 Access Denied), but I could still call a particular directory by loading it straight up, and that worked fine. I could navigate into directories, just not back up out of them. Very strange.


Also, the password stumped me for a few seconds, before I realised it was case-sensitive (it's lowercase, not uppercase as someone told me, d'oh.)

In fact, Opera is following standards, whereas Internet Explorer ISN'T - so the FTP server is incorrectly setup, the CDUP command should be allowed at the server end as it is a standard function.
