I have a funny question.

when i setup my ProFTP server and log in using ftp/anonymous, i use mget to grab a few cool tools for spyware hunting.

using the commands:

to switch to binary mode: binary
to grab all files: mget *

but for some weird issue i get it asking me for 3 things i don't think are on the server.
mget /test?
mget / . TaGG3?
mget / test?
mget / . TaGG1?

then the files that are actually on the server.

what are test, TaGG3 and TaGG1?
when i say yes to pull them i get the error "No such file or directory"

OTHER INFO:
ProFTP server running on Ubuntu LAMP install configured with Webmin tools.
any other information i would be willing to provide.

when you say pro ftp what program are you using?

Is it wsftp pro?

Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question, maybe I missed something in your post but, if its wsftp pro. then I can help you. :thumbsup:

Please take notice. Oreo and I will not be available until June of 2012.
Thank you for understanding my absence, it is job and college related, so all is good. If I do not answer your PMs this is the reason why. See you all soon!
Bruce.

http://www.proftpd.org/

this is the server i use installed on ubuntu 9.1 LAMP server

i just use the standard command line ftp client from windows xp to access it.

the problem is at the server not the client so i don't know what i need to do to hide those funny files that don't actually exist.
