Description
Preconditions:
- Pref "Server -> Force show hidden files" is Off
- Remote server contains a directory structure with a hidden file
- User has adequate access rights to all relevant files and directories
Action:
Try to recursively delete the structure
What happens:
- The hidden file is not deleted
- Deleting the directory fails because its not empty
What should happen:
- Hidden file should be deleted regardless of the "Force show hidden files" setting
- Deleting the directory won't fail
Extra information:
- Server is running ProFTPd; tested with various versions.
- Everything works fine with the setting on.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The whole "hidden files" thing is broken in FTP servers. So if your FTP hides files, you have to use the build-in work-around named "Force show hidden files". This is of low priority.
