#18 queue transfer

[Anonymous]

Hey Brandon, I have to admit wicked program. I was
playing with the queue transfer and I noticed something
fishy though. I logged into an ftp server under one
username/pass, queued a directory to download and
disconnected. While disconnected, I edited the saved
queue properties to change the username / pass on the
queued directory and hit go. The program proceeded to
login with the new desired username / pass combo but
when it successfuly logged in, it cd 'd to the parent
directory of the one I wanted and did a listing with LS
-L and nothing else. No transfer took place and
eventually the connection timed out. The foldername
that was queued to download was approx 40 characters
long with spaces, dashes, letters / numbers and a
period in it as well if that info helps any. No
'illegal' characters were used.

I tried the folder transfer again with leaving the same
user name / pass in the saved queue properties. This
time if I queued up say /tmp/test, disconnected and hit
go, it would download all of /tmp (including any other
files in /tmp as well as any other directory) and
eventually the folder test with it's contents. Locally
stored, it saved the data in ~/test which would
normally be correct, but since it downloaded all of
/tmp, /tmp was placed in ~/test. So /tmp/test was
actually stored in ~/test/test locally. So essentially,
~/test became /tmp from the remote system. I'm sorry if
that's confusing not sure how else to put it.

Queued files on the other hand worked fine with the
same user name /pass, am testing with different
username / pass combos.

I hope I explained that well enough. Wicked program
though, seriously I was very impressed when I took a
look at it.

If it helps, it was compiled from source, i386 system
running OpenBSD 3.0 -stable. Compile / install went
smooth with no errors. I haven't tried it on my
slackware 8 system yet.
