NppFTP crashes when connecting to an HP NonStop server

[sconeu]

NppFTP version 0.26.3 Unicode zlib 1.2.8 libssh 0.6.5 Openssl 1.0.2a 19 mar 2015

[sconeu]

Corrected with proper image

@sconeu: are you able to reproduce this with 0.26.4 available from Github?

[gbritton1]

Same error as @sconeu with NppFTp 0.26.3 connecting to Z-OS in my case. I cannot find 0.26.4 anyhere

[gbritton1]

OK -- got 0.26.4 installed. Same exact failure.

[sconeu]

I think it blows up on any non-UNIX-like file system.

[gbritton1]

Well that's really useful

[ashkulz]

Is there a public URL where I can try to reproduce?

[gbritton1]

Not sure. It failed for me on an internal site

@sconeu @gbritton1 Could you please retest with version v0.27.0, as some similar crashes are fixed with this release, see https://github.com/ashkulz/NppFTP/releases/tag/v0.27.0

[sconeu]

Still fails for me. Notepad++ 7.4.1 64bit. NppFTP 0.27.0 64bit.

[sconeu]

Follow up for chcg. HP NonStop paths are fixed as the following regex:

$[:alpha:][:alnum:]{0,6}.[:alnum:]{1,8}.[:alnum:]{1,8}

Case Insensitive.

Part before the first dot is the volume name, including the leading $. Second part (between the dots) is a subvolume name Third part (after the second dot) is the file name.

e.g.:

$VOL.SUBVOL.FILE $BUG47.20180906.COMMENT1

[sconeu]

Still occurring with 0.28.3. NPP v7.7 64 bit.

@sconeu See https://github.com/ashkulz/NppFTP/pull/132 regarding ussing z/OS like dir structure with . as separator. Probably this will not be supported by NppFTP, but at least it shouldn't create a crash.
