Directory listing problem with using minio ftp

[Birkan]

Hello,

We are using minio cluster and activated ftp feature. Then we tried to connect with filezilla on a windows machine. It is connecting successfully, and listing buckets fine. But when we tried to get in a bucket, we can't see folders.

PS: When we use MacoS everything is fine. On windows , when we try winscp, it is listing successfully. Only filezilla can't.

Please enable "Show raw directory listings" in the settings dialog of FileZilla, then connect to the server and submit a complete log of a listing attempt.

Modify=00010101000000

The server claims the directories were last modified on January 1st in the year 1 AD.

Please contact your server vendor for further assistance, so that the server can be fixed to either report a reasonable modification date, or simply omit it if there truly is no modification date for a given entry.

PS: When we use MacoS everything is fine. On windows , when we try winscp, it is listing successfully. Only filezilla can't.

Different operating systems and runtime libraries have different capabilities when it comes to processing timestamps that either predate digital computers or are far into the future.

Hello again,

I received an answer from MinIO.

can you try to read from any sdk for example ( minio-py, minio-go, aws-sdk) ? if they all have same results.. you could go back to the ticket..

We tried these sdks and saw that folder's modification date is coming true. Which side has problem i don't know. How can you help me?

Thank you

[Tim Kosse]

They gave a very strange answer, do they not understand their own product?

What is shown in the raw directory listing is coming straight from the server. Which makes it pretty clear which side is having the problem.

Hello again,

I have new answers from MinIO,

-There is no concept of Folder in object storage.
it is just a way to organise. prefix. ​https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/using-prefixes.html

if you are looking for "Folders" (prefix) , No, the dates will not be returned
