Why Does "FTP Get Directory Info.vi" Return Blank Properties for My Server?

Primary Software: LabVIEW Toolkits>>Internet Developers Toolkit
Primary Software Version: 6.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem: When I use FTP Get Directory Info.vi on my server, it returns blank fields for all of the properties and claims the type of every file is "link."

Solution: The FTP Get Directory Info.vi (and its subVI, FTP Get Path Info) uses standard UNIX-style paths when accessing FTP resources and it expects a UNIX-style directory listing to be returned by the server. If the server you are attempting to access is configured to return DOS-style directory information, the information that these VIs expect to see will not be present. If you are running Microsoft FTP Server, you can change this setting by going to the server properties and setting the Directory Listing Format property to UNIX rather than DOS.
