    From Flavio Bessa@4:801/189.1 to All on Sat Aug 22 14:23:39 2020
    Hello everybody.

    This is embarassing, but...

    I have setup a FTP server under Mystic, and have one directory called Offline.

    When I log on, I type "cd Offline" and then try to run the "dir" command, which never works...

    Help says that the syntax is "dir <filespec>" but I have tried everything...

    Where am I missing?

    "dir *.*" maybe?

    Ah, nevermind... I see now that was coming from the help file. Filespec just means it can optionally take more information to narrow the results.

    Can you paste in the full text of you trying to change directory, the server response, then your dir command and the server response?

    The message you see is coming from your FTP client, not Mystic's FTP server. "dir" isn't a function of FTP (some FTP clients try to make them work like a DOS shell or a Linux shell).

    I can't provide any more information based on what you've shown so far. Have you tried a different client or looked at tried turning on debug level
    logging for MIS to see what the FTP server says?

    Most of the time people struggle with FTP its because they don't open the
    ports on their router to allow the FTP port range.

    I would also suggest to use the latest A46 build.
