2.2 FroYo with 1.23 SwiFTP causes chroot violation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install 2.2/FroYo (mine was a press handset so it was legit OTA)
2. Config SwiFTP for your network and user login settings
3. Connect with a FTP client to the phone (using Cyberduck on Mac)

What is the expected behavior? What do you see instead?
Proper directory list or connection and transfers.
Instead an immediate "invalid name or chroot violation occurs"
Clicking try agin sometimes works.
File transfers also yield this:

220 SwiFTP 1.23 ready
USER user
331 Send password
PASS ********
230 Access granted
FEAT
211-Features supported
 UTF8
211 End
OPTS UTF8 ON
200 OPTS accepted
CWD /
550 Invalid name or chroot violation
QUIT
221 Goodbye

What version of SwiFTP are you using?
1.23

What operating system are you using?
2.2

Which FTP client are you using?
Cyberduck

Which Android device do you have (Nexus, Droid, Hero, G1, etc.)?
Nexus One

May we contact you by email to ask questions? If so, what is your email
address?

I have the same problem with Froyo. Tried with ftp, curlftpfs, Nautilus and 
Opera on 
Ubuntu. I can list the files on the sdcard, but not in any subdirectory and I 
can't 
access any files.

have the same problem on a htc legend with 2.1 and mac running cyberduck , the 
"/" doesn't work.
I have been using swiftp on a previous legend with no problem..

I'm also using Cyberduck and fine with FroYo and setting to /

BTW: if you aren't rooted / MAY not work for you.  Use a file explorer and find 
out the name of the memory storage that is used and replace that in /

May be an issue right now for internal storage phones

Confirming this issue with FroydVillain on HTC Hero.

also confirming workaround with /mnt/sdcard fixes this.

/sdcard is just symlink anyway:
# ls -l /
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            11 Aug 14 15:15 sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard

Logcat:
I/class org.swiftp.CmdCWD( 8124): Path violated folder restriction, denying
I/class org.swiftp.CmdCWD( 8124): 550 Invalid name or chroot violation

Stay within "/" worked for my unrooted HTC Desire.

With only "/" it works fine, but hope you can fix that.

I got a problem when I saying "mget *.jpg"
(NLST does not support wildcards)

Will try Google it, but now you know :)

Works with /mnt/sdcard - shouldn't this be handled better? I can imagine only a 
small percentage bothering to try to find the fix on this site - the problem 
has been around for many months now!

Hi folks,
HTC Legend with Froyo v3.14.177.1
I changed the "stay within folder" setting inside the setup from the old 
version "/sdcard" to "/mnt/sdcard" and this worked! Without the "" of course ;)
Thank you guys!
