newbie: why can't I list directories under ftp on RH7.2?
Hi! I'm a new Zope user / admin and so far am pretty happy with the system. I've been a software developer for about 12 years (I was a CPU engineer before that), working on things as diverse as object-code rewriting, RISC assembler code graphics libraries, writing a Java distributed object platform and rewriting a WYSIWYG web-based website editor to use an XML page representation. I'm impressed with the comprehensiveness of what's available in Zope and am happy to be here. Question: I've set up the server on my rh7.2 machine, connected through Apache and using virtual hosts and SiteRoot. All is going well so far (my initial site is http://www.sfbagc.com), except for ftp. I've opened up port 8021 using ipchains to my local network, and I can ftp to the server from localhost or from a Windows ftp client, and can log in. But I can't get a directory listing ("Unauthorized") or change to directories that I thounk ought to be there ("/Diaries"). I haven't been able to find any clues using Google. Am I missing some important Zope or system config? Any clues would help. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again." - F. P. Jones

When you get "Unauthorized", this suggests that it is a permission problem.
Zope will accept any "user" (FTP) command without check. Checks are done when you try to access an object (or folder). It seems that the "user" (i.e. "login" information) is invalid or the user does not have enough permissions to use the FTP methods. Dieter
