CoreFTP disconnects if directory listing is denied

Here is a sample log:

230 User logged in.
SYST
215 Windows_NT
Keep alive off...
PWD
257 "/" is current directory.
CWD /SubDir/
250 CWD command successful.
PORT 10,0,1,117,46,168
200 PORT command successful.
LIST
550 Access is denied.
QUIT
221 Bye..Bye

It looks like because the LIST command returns a 550, the client issues QUIT and disconnects.

We have an FTP folder where write permissions are granted but not list directory. This is so 30 or 40 companies can send us files but not see what others have put into the same directory. I'm trying to setup a new company and I suggested CoreFTP. They've gotten back to me that they can't connect, and this is what is happening to me.

Is there a setting in CoreFTP somewhere I can change to remain connected in this situation?

there's an advanced -> general -> No Quit

option in you could try but that might not be the issue.

Try the latest dev build (1685) only because it has fixes in it specifically for server type "Windows_NT"

Thanks for the tip!

Checking No QUIT allowed the connection to persist, but the upload button was disabled. I checked No LIST as well, and now I can connect and upload to a folder that grants no list directory contents permission to the user.

Thanks again for your help.
