Re: mc Digest, Vol 87, Issue 1

We should not deny our debt to the ancestory of the original `nc`.
I tested the `ftp` facility only now, after using `mc` since DOS+nc-days.
Amazingly convenient !
Since `mc` can communicate via the 'inet-stack' can I use it to test the
<loop-back>/127.0.0.1, since my inet-connection is expensive.
I want to test a certain front-end [an also mc] for mail via some
MTA which does send-authorisation, eg. sendmail [which is a monster to
configure] so I don't have to use this inefficient web-based gmail.
BTW I think that nc's <append marked block to a file> is better than
mc's <over-write to a file>, eg. when you want to extract multiple
blocks to the same file.
And yes, the window-frame sizeS are a mess for `nc` and <console> on
the 'new Win/s', as I discovered when I had to buy a Win7 netbook to
connect via a wireless modem. IMO Win is amazingly crappy, in general.

How version of mc?
What names of 'from' VFS and 'to' VFS)?
Whence you copy (full path) and where (full path) you copy a file?
What source file permissions and what permissions of destination directory?

Hello,

Enter the hostname and connect just as usual. Doesn't it work for you?

No, it does not work; see details below.

My IPV6 fixes have made it into master already, so it should work.

I know; it is inside, though something goes wrong. see below.As I said, I
 have fedora 15 with mc-4.7.5.2-1 (which comes with Fedora 15 distribution).
In:
/usr/share/doc/mc-4.7.5.2/NEWS
there is a line saying:
" FTPFS: support of IPv6 protocol"
(in the section: Version 4.7.0-pre2).


  I did this simple test on a Fedora machine:
  1) start vsftpd service.
  2) su kevin
  3) make sure that ftp server runs ok:
  ftp 127.0.0.1 , then enter user:kevin, passwd.
  4) it worked (running commands like "ls" is fine)
  5) tried from mc:
  FTP link: (from the left pane submenu)
  enterd 127.0.0.1 and it worked.
  Also kevin 127 0 0 1 worked.

  then I did this:
  1) Seup an IPV6 server
    (simply uncomment listen_ipv6=YES and commented  IPV4 listen entry
(listen=YES)
    in vsftpd.conf.)
  2) restart vsftpd service.
  3) su kevin
  4) make sure that ftp server runs ok with IPV6:
  ftp ::1 , then enter user:kevin, passwd.
  5) it worked (running commands like "ls" is fine)
  6) tried from mc:
  FTP link: (from the left pane submenu)
    when I enter ::1, or kevin@::1, I get these errors:
      Cannot chdir to  "/#ftp:::1"  or,
      in the second case,
      Cannot chdir to  "/#ftp:kevin@::1"
      I also tried with :1, which is not supposed to work and also got an error

Any ideas? does it work for anybody here with these/other settings ?
rgs,
Kevin

Did you try with the hostname as I asked?

Ok, it seems to me, that there is a problem with connecting by IP
address (as opposed to by name). I am not quite sure where exactly does
it lie and I don't have time to explore it right now, but I imagine that
this could have to do with the old VFS parser and not FTP-specific.

I have downloaded the Windows 32 bit executable for Midnight
Commander, and have installed it on my Vista laptop. I need to ftp
from my Vista laptop, into my main machine running Centos 5.6.

There appears to be a problem with the size of the mc gui. I cannot
drag the corner and resize it to a usable size. It's only about 3.5"
wide, by 3" tall.

Is there any way to make the mc screen larger on Windows Vista please,
so I can actually see what I'm doing!

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
