FTP directory listing or file listing does not display properly
DISCUSSION:
When connecting to some Unix hosts our FTP doesn't display the directory listing or file listing properly. The first letter or first two letters of each file are missing. This occurs on Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT.
RESOLUTION:
Add the following section to the win.ini:
[HCLFTP]
AlternateParse = 1
This fix works for Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows NT.
This can be applied to FTP 5.1.1 and FTP 5.1.3.13
In Exceed 6.2 or higher, if the truncation occurs, the user has to create/modify an ftp.ini file in the exceed\user directory and add the flag:
[settings]
AlternateParse=1
AlternateParse - This key is used ONLY for UNIX FTP servers, mainly used for non-US or non-English UNIX servers with their date format in a language other than English. It is also used for UNIX FTP servers that have huge files in the listing. The size field distorts the listing.
