[FR][OS 6.1.8]Ftp Backup source hidden files
Hi, I can't manage to backup from a Linux box any file that starts with "." (period), ie hidden files. Did anybody managed to backup one .something file from remote FTP to local readynas share? M...
Well, if Netgear wanted me to fix it, I'd
(a) make sure MLST/MLSD are being used whenever they are advertised via the FTP FEAT command (may be true already)
(b) remove any hard-wired filters for .*
(c) make sure there is a hardwired filter for . and ..
(d) implement the exclude file feature in frontview backup for FTP, so .* could be manually excluded.
I wouldn't mess around with LIST -a
That should match the behavior of the FileZilla client, which based on your earlier posts is what you are asking for. Anyway, I think those adjustments would increase the utility of the FTP backup job.
