Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19019
Passive ftp not supported
Last modified: 2021-01-24 18:15:51 UTC
When I try and browse file-open by ftp (also behind a firewall) I get: ---- FTP Folder Error An error occurred opening that folder on the ftp server. Make sure you have permission to access the folder. Details: 200 Type set to A. 500 Illegal PORT command. 500 LPRT not understood ---- The server is running ProFTPD Version 1.2.5 Also given firewall problems I wish it would try passive ftp first and only fallback to active if passive is not supported OK, and I know its not really a word processor bug but there doesn't seem to be an obvious category for this bug.
Windows 2000+ and also 98 with "webfolders" installed support browsing ftp sites in the file-open type dialogs, as well is windows explorer-shell browsing of ftp site contents. In the file-open dialog "Network places" browses such ftp sites as already configured. Clicking on the desktops "network places" is one way to add more ftp sites to network places. If the invoking application dfoesn't make use of the right APIs, when a remote file is opened windows fetches the file and passes a local copy for read-only editing to the application. I think OO should support these extensions, and when the user specifies a new ftp site as OO currently supports this should be added to the network-places ftp sites. Here are docs on USE of such facilities within office: http://it.exeter.edu/PDFs/WebFolderAccessonWindowsNT_9X.pdf To show how important it is to integrate with windows remote-file editing here is some notes on setting up apache2 to support DAV access: http://www.informit.com/isapi/product_id~%7BA27264B1-CE7A-47A4-8CC5-DA14003AD454%7D/element_id~%7B3782EB49-B43D-4BCD-B7EB-6CB0F7CA87EC%7D/st~%7BEA04B5C6-6D59-4670-AC88-4982C49B746D%7D/content/articlex.asp I'll post some API docs on these extensions when I can find them
