[news.eclipse.platform] Re: FTP plugin for non-Linux FTP servers

["Michael Giroux" <michael.giroux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Michael,

In my case, the specific prolem is that "LIST -a" is returning a "file not 
found" error message.  The host system on which the ftp server is running 
allows filenames with dash, so -a is a valid filename, and LIST -a fails 
unless a file named "-a" exists in which case only that one file is 
returned.

For this specific server, "LIST" with no arguments returns a complete list 
for the current working directory, so the first step will be to remove 
the -a option.  As this would break the plugin for other servers, I think 
this needs to be configurable.

I tried to build the project from the sources included in the source plugin, 
but I'm getting missing classes.  This may be because I created a standard 
Java project instead of a plugin project.  I'm off to take another shot at 
it.
