When I go via telnet with the same user and pwd to the device this is the directory list of the root

Pocket CMD v 6.00

With FileZilla from the same RPi and with the same user and pwd I see exactly the same.

I've written a small python script using ftplib. When I want to see the files in the windows directory I get this result. It's the same except for the hidden the files that are also included.

dev@raspberrypi:~/iq4wnd $ python Sync.py '192.168.1.1' 'user' 'pwd' 'Windows' '~/iq4wnd'

That is interesting. The thing I note us that it likes it's paths separated by \

So does this do anything?

rclone lsf pentalum:\ -vv --dump bodies

Rclone will be using / to construct deeper paths which may not work.

Sorry, I think you'll want this since you are using this from unix aren't you.

rclone lsf pentalum:'\' -vv --dump bodies

:confused:

I don't know what is happening, I expected that to work.

Would it be possible to get access to a device like this easily?

28

If you're interested I can share a (rather ugly;-)) python script that does the job. I had to stick to basic ftplib commands. Any package I tried to use based on mlsd and nlist failed. The Windows CE on the device and probably also the ftp server are quite old...

29

That would be interesting...

That probably explains the problem then!

30

This is the dump of a dirty scrip I will clean up later;-)
As you can see I only rely on the very ftp basics.

Thank you for that.

I think I'm going to stop chasing down this rabbit hole for the moment - I could probably fix this, but I'd need access to the FTP server :slight_smile:
