hi i got a problem with that .missing files.
iobanana is creating the *.missing files after uploading the sfv file but after finishing the files iobanana doesnt delete the .missing files.
anyone knows this error and can help me ? thx

Why would it *delete* the .missing files when you delete a file that was good ? .missing files are there to show what files are missing and that's exactly what a deleted file is.. *missing*.

I think he's saying the .missing files aren't deleted when the files are uploaded.

Could be. Then it might be a problem with his VFS file(s).
But it's pretty hard to be sure without knowing what version of ioBanana (and ioFTPD) he's using and what exactly he's doing.

same prob here.

Site Version
ioFTPD version: 5-8-5r
ioBanana version: 20
IoA 1.1.7

the missing files arent deleted when the files are uploaded.
and
SITE SHOWBANANA
550 Command failed.
dont work.
all other features of ioBanana working good.

i followed the instructions in the installation guide.
step by step.

[Events]
OnFtpLogIn = EXEC ..\scripts\ioA\ioA.exe logon
OnUploadComplete = EXEC ..\scripts\ioBanana\ioBanana.exe upload
OnUploadError = EXEC ..\scripts\ioBanana\ioBanana.exe uploadfailed

Are you using FAT32 or NTFS ?

evo2 · 12-20-2004, 02:43 PM

ntfs

1. Are you using raided dirs ?
2. Check your vfs files.
3. Enable debug and retry.

mine stopped working after i converted that partition from NTSF to FAT32. As you mentioned fat32 before i assume it has something to do with that?

What i need to do to fix that?

Thx.

ioFTPD doesn't support FAT32 partitions. Don't use FAT32. There's no good reason to do so...

friends-fan · 12-28-2004, 11:41 AM

well....i'm changing the system to linux (remotly) and cant back up the (former) NTFS Partition. So in order to keep working with it, FAT32 is my only option for now....as linux doesnt support writing to NTFS partitions.

Or am i overlooking the obvious here?

I have to add that I obviously still use io and windows on that server for now. The converting was just part of the switching preparation.

Well, i guess i either switch back to NTFS for the time being or speed up the linux install.

Thx for reply anyway

Harm · 12-28-2004, 12:25 PM

ioFTPD may support FAT32 (note that I have never tried it) but ioBanana v20 surely doesn't. In fact, it uses NTFS streams to store important data such as race info.

Couldn't you move all other partitions to some real Linux filesystem while this one remains NTFS and then copy the data to another newly created partition ? You're not going to use ioFTPD while installing Linux, are you ?
