NLST command not working
Hi,
I am using curb to execute NLST command on a remote ftp server through a http proxy server. Proxy tunneling is enabled.
require
require 'rubygems' require 'curb'
configuration
curl_handle.url="ftp://some_ftp_site:21" curl_handle.userpwd="user:pass" curl_handle.proxy_url="http://some_proxy:80" curl_handle.verbose = true curl_handle.ftp_commands=["PASV","NLST"] curl_handle.proxy_tunnel=(true)
perform
curl_handle.perform
I am getting the following error,
Output:
- About to connect() to proxy
port 80 (#0) - Trying 148.87.19.20... * Connected to

Can anybody help?
Thanks, Rushi
Hi Rushi,
I would start by looking into the libcurl documentation here: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html Also see if you can find some examples in the C API. it should translate to the Ruby API fairly close... and from there I would look in ext/curb_easy.c
I've have not tried connecting using the Ruby API via NLST - so it's possible we might need to make some changes.

Hi Todd,
I found the problem.
With ruby curb gem, client is not connecting to passive port specified by the server in the reply to EPSV command. That is why NLST command times out.
I tried command line tool curl with NLST option set. It connects to the server via passive port and every thing works fine.
This may help you to locate the error in the code.
Thanks,
Rushi
