FTP connections error after upgrade to 2008

[kybos]

Hi,
I have just upgraded to 2008 version of RapidPHP (9.2.0.100).
Apart from losing all my project definitions (never mind, I recreated them... all other settings were transferred correctly, as described in the upgrade instructions), it's not longer possible to connect to my FTP server.
An error box is displayed with a message about something like 'found limit entry for user...', which obviously is a simple information message issued by the FTP server after logon, it's certainly no reason to abort. Connection with other programs works (I can see the message mentioned above on the terminal too).
What can I do to make it work in RapidPHP?
Thanks,
Kybos

Do you know what FTP server (ie, software make / version) you're connecting to? What is the exact error you're getting?
Out of interest, you mention you upgraded to v9.2 - what version did you upgrade from ?

I upgraded from version 8 something (I don't have the exact version number any more as I uninstalled the old version prior to installing the new one, but it was the latest version of the 8 or 2007 series).

I'm afraid I have no idea about the make of the FTP server.
After some research I would say it's proftpd.

The log from a (successful) FTP logging:

ftp> open ftp.xxx.xx
Verbindung mit ftp.xxx.xx wurde hergestellt.
220 ftp server ready
Benutzer (ftp.xxx.xx:(none)): xxx@xxx.xx
331 Password required for xxx@xxx.xx.
Kennwort:
Oct 28 20:42:47 mod_quotatab/1.2.13[8997]: found limit entry for user xxx@
xxx.xx'
Oct 28 20:42:50 mod_quotatab/1.2.13[8997]: found tally entry for user xxx@
xxx.xx'
230 User xxx@xxx.xx' logged in.

RapidPHP brings up the error dialog with the text of the first message above ("found limit entry...") and cancels the connection.
As stated, it's no problem connecting with other programs (browsers, Total commander).

Thanks for your time.

I will need a login/password/host info so that we can test this and eliminate the bug. The info will be kept confidential and we will not change any files. Drop this info to support[at]blumentals.net

Thanks!

Fortunately the problem is solved for the time being as the provider changed his settings so those two "found" messages are not output any longer at the login.
FYI: I had experimented with the DOS FTP command line tool in the meantime. It had some problems with these messages too. It did not cancel the login completely as Rapid PHP did, but it returned to the prompt after the first one and only after entering the next ftp command it continued the login procedure. Quite strange...

Best regards,
Kybos

The messages violated FTP protocol, thus there were problems. Of course many professional FTP clients have built-in fault tolerance for this. As the problem is rare we have not yet gotten there.
