Using Box.com over FTP problems

Suspected Bug
1

I’m not sure if this is an issue with FTP in general or using Box.com’s FTP implementation with rclone.
It seems to not be creating directories.

What that is saying is that it is having trouble creating the parent directory for an upload.

However what is failing is the test to see if the directory exists… I wonder if box is returning error 450 instead of error 550 here like it is supposed to… Error 550 is what rclone is expecting when it tries to list a non existent directory and that is 550 Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) however error 450 is 450 Requested file action not taken.…

Can you try this work-around?

I decided to merge the fix anyway

This will be in the latest beta from now on and in 1.41.

Let me know if it works!

Thanks

Sorry about that. I’ve decided to drop box and focus on Dropbox instead. It’s much nicer for the most part.

OK, no worries!

PS I had to read “I’ve decided to drop box and focus on Dropbox” quite a few times before I managed to parse it properly :wink:
