Title: A big BUG with ~
Post by: alanlai on October 22, 2005, 06:33:05 AM
while uploading when filename exist it will replace with a "~" like
1.jpg ==> 1~1.jpg

but because of that ~ symbol, we can't move the file from one FTP server to another...
what should we do? we can't even rename the file to remove the ~


please help....

FTPing single files isn't recommended anyway (if it's a lot of files). Why not using tar on them first?
Still, it's not the ~ preventing you to move the file. I guess more it's an ownership, permission issue. At least I never had issues with that.
And you shouldn't either if you're logged in as root. Are you?

Don't call it a BIG BUG while it's actually not Coppermine which is failing  :\'(

Coppermine works perfectly with ~ in names. Permissions in FTP has nothing to do with coppermine what CHMOD code do these files have?

Perhaps this link can help you setting the ownerships correctly http://catcode.com/teachmod/

I agree, yelling "bug" is not a good idea unless you're absolutely sure what you're doing, it's sort of insulting.
