Expected character not found

[slarkin712]

I set up a sync of an ftp server. Whenever I try to compare or sync I get the following error:

ftp://192.xxx.xx.xxx/xxxx

Cannot read directory "xxxxx"
Failed to parse FTP response. Expected character not found.

If I use Filezilla to connect to the FTP server and perform a file transfer it works just fine. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

What is the full error message?

[slarkin712]

It is just as above, but the xxx's are my ip address. And then "Failed to parse FTP response. (Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[USER:NAME]) Expected character not found."

Is this from an old FreeFileSync version? If not: Can you copy and paste the message without editting (except for your IP).

[slarkin712]

I can't get an a cut and paste copy, because the computer is on an offline system. But the message is exactly as I said.

ftp://192.xxx.xx.xxx/xxxx

Failed to parse FTP response. (Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[USER:NAME]) Expected character not found.

So this is from an old FreeFileSync version?

Just type out the IP address/path... It is a private address and isn't exposed to the internet or anything

I think you're using an old FreeFileSync version. But it doesn't matter in this case: It looks like "Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[USER:NAME]" is coming from some VMS FTP server which FreeFileSync (currently?) does not support.

I am using version 11.2. This is an odd system, so it is probably not supported with Free File Sync.
