remote dir entries won't work
Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2010 12:02 pm
I'm using AndFTP 1.9. I added an FTP server, entering the address, my name and password, but not a Remote dir value (which therefore remained as greyed-out /yourfolder). Connection worked fine, and I was able to cd and upload/download files no problem. Also created an Android subdirectory.
Then I decided to add a Remote dir by editing the server definition. I started with "Android" assuming that the entry would be relative to my top-level directory (i.e., after logging on, AndFTP would do cd Android). But, after connecting, I get the message cannot change directory to Android. So, I then tried emptying the Remote dir field. Then I get the message cannot cd to (blank). I looked at AndFTP home page, and then tried /Android. This didn't work either. I also tried "/" and "." In all cases, no matter what I place in the Remote dir field, I get a "cannot change directory to" alert and the display shows only an empty directory with [go up to folder] which doesn't do anything. I haven't tried an absolute path because I don't really want to.
So, the question: what is the magic incantation for Remote dir: that will simply log on and leave me in my top-level remote directory? I guess I can delete my current entry and create another with the default (greyed-out) value. But other than this, I'm stumped.
