| | Hi, I already posted in the Vista section a while ago, but no one has replied. Ok, so I had WS FTP Home working fine with vista, no probs. Now though, when I open it and sign on to the server, it does sign on, but I can't se any of my files on the right pane where they should be. Does anyone know why this is?? This is what I mean: 
Please help. Thanks! Andrew |

| Hi Andrew,
This is probably an issue getting a data channel to view the directory listing. Once you have a made a fresh connection, click the Connection Log button at the bottom and copy/paste what it shows here. It would be best to first enable debug logging in Tools> Options> Logging, though.

| Here is the section of the log dealing with the directory listing:
PWD
257 "/mclefj320" is current directory.
CWD /
250 CWD command successful.
PWD257 "/" is current directory.
TYPE A
200 Type set to A.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (84,22,184,50,4,81).
connecting data channel to 84.22.184.50:4,81(1105)
data channel connected to 84.22.184.50:4,81(1105)
LIST
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
transferred 0 bytes in < 0.001 seconds, 0.000 Bps ( 0.000 Bps), transfer succeeded.
226 Transfer complete
It seems you are getting the list fine, but it is coming over as 0 bytes. This is either because it actually IS empty, or because you are not allowed to see any of the folders that exist at the root. In the lines above that I see you are going to your user folder, then doing a CWD command back to the root folder (/). I think the issue might be that you don't have any files in the root directory, and the user folders are set to not display at the root either.
Try changing the directory back to your home directory. Right click on the remote pane and select Operations> FTP Commands> CWD, then type in your user name, mclefj320. This should either give you an error if the action is not allowed or bring you back into your home directory, displaying your files.
If this is the case it is probably due to the option available in WS_FTP to Open last local and remote directories. If you had exited the client while in the root folder it would open that location again, until you closed the program or the connection from another folder.

That worked perfect, got it back now. Thank you so much J.J.  |
