This is an experimental FTP server. If you have any unusual problems, please report them via e-mail to Christian.Limpach@nice.usergroup.ethz.ch. The ftp daemon has been changed to hide the real disk structure. 'cd ..' should always get you to the parent directory, even if you crossed a symlink and changed to another disk. The 'ls' command has been extended to allow lookups in a fast-find database. This search is really fast and will find all filenames that match the specified string. The fast-find mode is called by the -Z option, immediately followed by the string you want to find. (no space, unless you are using a 'better' ftp-client like 'ncftp') This string is case-sensitive. some examples: ftp> ls -ZHacker 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. /pub/next/Documents/literature/HackerJargon.tar.gz /pub/next/Documents/references/Hackers.1.1.README /pub/next/Documents/references/Hackers.1.1.tar.gz 226 Transfer complete. remote: -ZHacker 139 bytes received in 0.25 seconds (0.54 Kbytes/s) ftp> ls -ZTickle 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. /pub/next/Tools/workspace/TickleServices.1.02.NI.b.tar.gz /pub/next/Tools/workspace/TickleServices.README 226 Transfer complete. remote: -ZTickle 98 bytes received in 0.25 seconds (0.38 Kbytes/s) ftp> ls -Zfoobar (this one will find nothing) 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. 226 Transfer complete. ftp>
