Linux FTP server issue when files have a space preceding the filename
Q: We have an issue where the source file (Linux) might have a space preceding the name. Example “ file-with-a-space.jpg”. Limagito on Windows sees it as “file-with-a-space.jpg” and attempts to retrieve. The Linux server returns a 500 error, file not found error. We receive the error every minute until someone manually fixes. I want limagito to output a text file with the source path. That will get picked up by a Linux server that will automate a fix, but it needs to know where to look (hence the source path).
A: Ok we installed a Linux system and did some tests. A new build of our file mover is ready (v2022.4.23.0) where we added a new option called ‘Use Prefer Nlst’.
Important, only available with our second API vendor: ‘Vendor 2 – CK’.
Please enable the ‘Use Prefer Nlst’ option in the ‘Common’ tab of the Source FTP setup. Also enabling ‘Delete Invalid Characters’ is a good idea with Linux (Unix, Mac) FTP servers because they may use invalid characters for Windows filenames.

If you need any info about this ‘space preceding the filename’ request, please let us know.
