I am using gFTP in Ubuntu 9.04. I am trying to download files from a video surveillance device. This device uses Linux for the embedded os and supports ftp. From the command line I have successfully logged into a ftp session, changed directories, downloaded files, and exited. Unfortunately the person who will be doing the actual work is not too thrilled about using the command line so I downloaded gFTP. With gFTP I am able to connect to the device and the right window shows the device directories. I am unable to change into any of the directories no matter what I have tried. This included double clicking on the directory, right clicking on the directory and then choosing change directory, and manually entering the url for the directory.
I searched your faq and mailing list but I seem to be alone with this problem. The user manual for this device states the only ftp commands supported are cd; dir; ls; get; delete; and rmdir. Is the problem with the configuration of gFTP or is the ftp server on the device too basic for gFTP?
Thanks,
Dave
