 |
|
I'm trying to create a new project from an FTP host as I've done several times before (with different FTP accounts though). So in the New Project dialog, I choose "PHP Application from Remote Server", then in Step 3 under "Manage...", I enter my FTP data. It's just an IP address and I'm trying to connect to the root directory, so I put only a slash for "Initial Directory". Test Connection brings "Connection succeeded".
Then, I click Next to go to Step 4 and get:
No files available, navigate back and verify your remote server settings.
No files available for download.
I navigated back a million times, everything seems right. I also can see the files in my FTP client. Why can't NetBeans?
NetBeans 6.8 (can't update to 6.9.1)
Mac OS X 10.5.8
PowerMac G5 Quad |

I am also encountering this consistently and it's been a real showstopper as far as trying it out. I'd really like to have this resolved. I've tried 20 different combinations. Test connection is always successful, but fails to list files.
I'm on Windows Vista and using Dreamhost. I've tried selecting passive and not selecting it. |

it likely means that NetBeans simply cannot find any remote files. Please, try
to double-check your settings (remote directory/-ies).

Yes, it "means that NetBeans simply cannot find any remote files".
I've figured out as much first time I saw the error.
Question is: WHY?
The settings have been not just double-checked, but at least dozen-checked, and other software can see the files with exactly the same settings. Why can't Netbeans? |

| And the worst of all is that my Linux NetBeans can see the files with same settings while the Windows NetBeans cannot. It's damn frustrating.. |

I'm having the same problem here.
Even when I try to start up a local server it just doesnt add the project to the list.
And on top of that, every pop-up window in netbeans closes in 5 seconds.
Help will be appreciated. |

| I had the same problem . Appending a slash to the "initial directory" solved it for me. The default value was "/var/www" which I replaced with "/my/path". That didn't work. A path like "/my/path/" however works fine, though. |

Steven (the original poster) and I have tried making it clear that we've tried as many slashes any as many places as you could think of.
I suspect Steven to be of the level that, in the beginning at least, he did not attempt various entries haphazardly, perhaps only in frustration if he did resort to random attempts as I have.
i've been using unix since 92 and dos since 90. if i know anything, it is path/folder/directory concepts, structures, principles, and usage. i've even written my own file systems... i'm not really a very strong java programmer though or i'd try to go hunt down the cause further myself, but i'm too busy trying to actually work. seriously, Steven and I need help. what can we do to try to get this remedied asap? |

i'd like to mention that after i add a / at the end of the path in the initial directory, when i go back in and look at it, there is no / at the end. when you go back and look do you see a / at the end? no matter what i do, i cannot get it to save a / at the end of the initial directory. i just tested this in last night's development build. HOWEVER, in the OUTPUT of the session, it absolutely properly lists THE correct folder after the LIST command. which, btw, FTP standards dictate that the / is *not* required at the end. if netbeans is broken and not following ftp standards, netbeans needs fixed. |

if it's any difference (surely it has to), the exact same path works for me on my Linux computer too. I use Windows more. I'd still love to have this resolved on Windows.

I've mentioned, above, failure with both passive mode enabled and disabled. btw, on linux, i did not enable it and connected with success. |

since it works in linux, i installed virtualbox on my windows laptop and then used the guest additions for making use of my hd display. now i just use it in virtuabox and i'm able to save my state as development session management. it took me an hour of dedicated time to get everything setup, but so far it seems steady. |

Still, using virtual box doesn't solve this topic.
Even when I'm trying to connect to the root folder of the ftp it says no files available.
It does give a success on a test of the connection.
This isn't the only bug with me btw:
- auto closing of windows
- not showing a recently created project
- not starting up a local project when created
I'm on a pretty standard system, so I don't think that's the problem:
- Win7 Home premium x64
- Core Duo 2.2GHz
- 4GB RAM
I tried the following to fix it:
- Double check url
- Un-install and re-install
- Same with the plug-in necessary for the installation
- Tried passive mode
Did I miss something? |

I confirm this issue too.
Could it be problem with getting the file list in binary mode ?
Netbeans retrieves file list in BINARY mode but for example TotalCommander retrieves it in ASCII mode...
I've tried it in 7.0 and in night build... and got the same... |
