COREFTP pro won't download files without extensions

Post by M1SOL »

I have a script that calls coreftp using command line. It downloads files that a client drops on a remote ftp server. The client puts many different file names on the site, but none of the files ever have an extension (as in .DAT, .TXT, etc).
For some reason, Coreftp will NOT download these files without extensions when I use "*.*" wildcard in the command line. If I specify a specific filename, then it will downlaod that file, but this will not suffice since the filenames change constantly. I have tried all the command line options I can find, nothing works. If I upload a file of my own to the server which has an extension, then COREFTP will download that file only.

This is really irritating. Has anyone seen this before? Is this a bug? I can see the directory listing appear when core pop ups, but when I enable logging to file, it shows no files found.

BTW, this is standard FTP, no encryption or exotic security features that I am aware of.
