Can someone please help. I'm trying to do a simple list of directory and the command doesn't work.

<cfftp
action="listdir"

     server="<a href="ftp://ftp.boongroup.com">~~~~~.com</a>"
   username="~~_{"<br>    password="}~~~"
     name="test"
     directory="out"
     >

<cfdump var="#test#"> the command works fine in CF8 and CF9. But in CF10 it returns

h1. An error occurred during the FTP listdir operation.

Error: 215 . .

Adobe - you seem to have a problem here. I have tried ListDir on known connections and it fails every time. Can somebody provide an answer?

Action="close" does not work either. It says "invalid Connection Specified" even if this command is issued immediately after the Open command which works fine.

If you can access your ftp server via any ftp client like Filezilla then you will be able to list directories via ColdFusion as well. Share the stack trace as well.

Sample Code

<cfftp

port="21"

action = "open"

username = "username"

connection = "ftp"

password = "password"

server = "abc.xyz.com"

stopOnError = "Yes">

<cfoutput> Connection Open :#cfftp.succeeded# </cfoutput>

<p>List the files in a directory:

<cfftp

action = "LISTDIR"

stopOnError = "Yes"

name = "ListFiles"

directory = "/"

connection = "ftp">

<cfftp

action="close"

connection="ftp"

stopOnError = "Yes">

<cfoutput> Connection Closed :#cfftp.succeeded# </cfoutput>

You first have to open the connection. After the listDir action, you have to close the connection. Follow the fully worked-out example in the ColdFusion livedocs on CFFTP with listDir action.
