FtpImpl getFileListFromRemoteDir() bad suffix handling, listing subdir contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBESB-3293 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBESB-3293 Project: JBoss ESB Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Adapters Affects Versions: 4.8 Reporter: Tom Eicher Assignee: Tom Cunningham Fix For: 4.9 - RemoteFileSystem.getFileListFromRemoteDir(p_sSuffix) is meant to return the listing of the files of the current directory. - however, due to the "suffix enforcing" in FtpImpl, even calls like "getFileListFromRemoteDir(null)" and "getFileListFromRemoteDir("")" will be executed as getFileListFromRemoteDir("*"), making this a FTP "NLST *" command. - (and "getFileListFromRemoteDir(".")" will be "getFileListFromRemoteDir("*.")"...) - now, when your target directory contains only one entry, and that entry is a directory, the NLST will glob the "*" and return the listing of the subdir(!) - so, you will get unexpected results like "tmp/file1", "tmp/file2", when all you wanted was to receive the "tmp". - even when giving a suffix like "*.xml", this will return "tmp/file1.xml". - tested against Microsoft ftp server, but the behaviour is as expected, so will be identical with many ftp servers - fix: when no suffix given, call "listNames()", not "listNames("*")". - see also: FTPClient.listNames(String) docu, which says "The server may or may not expand glob expressions". For ftp servers not doing globbing, this means all downloads will fail.
