[gt-user] GridFTP Server Behaviour: Contradiction to MLSD RFC

[Mohammad Bhuyan]

Hi,

I am developing a basic gridftp server and testing against the Globus
GridFTP GUI.

While I try to download a file from my server (dragging the remote
file to local directory in the GUI panel), the client sends a MLSD
command to server with the file as parameter.

As per RFC 3659, MLSD on file (not directory) should return 501.

In the logoutput for the GUI client I find that the 501 reply is not
what the client was expecting. (I am attaching the logoutputfile for
the session.)

2009-03-31 15:52:20,165 DEBUG vanilla.TransferState
[Thread-74,transferError:57] intercepted exception
org.globus.ftp.exception.ServerException: Server refused performing
the request. Custom message:  (error code 1) [Nested exception
message:  Custom message: Unexpected reply: 501 Not allowed on file.].
 Nested exception is ......

What is expected to be done/returned by the server?

Thanks,

Mohammad
