117 : mvalenta 1.4 <li><b><a name="ftp_1">Why do I get error messages when uploading files with spaces in their names via FTP?</a></b>
118 :     <p>This is most likely because the FTP daemon you are using is not returning
119 :     a listing for files with a space inside their names, even when the name is
120 :     quoted. The file will still be uploaded correctly but Eclipse cannot update
121 :     the remote timestamp for the file. This is a known issue with Solaris and
122 :     some old versions of WU-FTPD.

127 :     <li><b><a name="ftp_2">The Eclipse FTP client doesn't seem to work with my FTP Server. What's wrong?</a></b>
128 :     <p>The FTP client in Eclipse should work with any FTP server that gives
129 :     standard UNIX style file listings. The listings need to be in that
130 :     format so that the Eclipse client can obtain the file timestamps.
131 :     </p>
132 :     <p>There have been timing issue problems with some servers. Here's a summary of the problem:
133 :     <ol>
134 :     <li>eclipse ftp client adds a file</li>
135 :     <li>eclipse ftp client asks for a listing to get the server timestamp</li>
136 :     <li>server gives listing that doesn't include the new file</li>
137 :     </ol>
138 :     <p>
139 :     This is clearly a server issue. Perhaps the server takes some additional
140 :     time to write out the file so the file doesn't appear in the listing.
141 :     Slowing down the process makes the problem go away.
142 :     </p>
143 :     <p>Top test whether this issue is what is giving you a problem, you can turn on FTP debugging in Eclipse.
144 :     <ol>
145 :     <li>Create a file named ".options" in your eclipse executable directory</li>
146 :     <li>Put the following lines in the file:
147 :     <ul>
148 :     <li>org.eclipse.team.ftp/debug=true</li>
149 :     <li>org.eclipse.team.ftp/requests=true</li>
150 :     <li>org.eclipse.team.ftp/responses=true</li>
151 :     <li>org.eclipse.team.ftp/list=true</li>
152 :     </ul>
153 :     </li>
154 :     <li>Start eclipse with the extra parameters "-vm /path/to/java.exe
155 :     -consolelog -debug" (se java.exe instead of javaw.exe). This will dump
156 :     the low level ftp output to the console.</li>
