20:54 🔗 Nemo_bis Sigh, why does ftp.hp.com have different content (or at least different dir structure) depending on the software I access it with
20:58 🔗 brayden Nemo_bis, are you sure you aren't just going mad? I tried it in "ftp" on linux, it was fine, in Firefox it was the same and Filezilla it was fine!
20:58 🔗 brayden at least for /
20:59 🔗 DFJustin some of the directories are symlinks, not all ftp software understands that
21:00 🔗 brayden well that's silly :(
21:00 🔗 brayden Just use a competent FTP client then?
21:01 🔗 DFJustin also some ftp servers start you in a subdirectory by default, so some clients may respect that and others move you to /
21:01 🔗 BiggieJon dell does that too
21:02 🔗 Nemo_bis Well, even wget sometimes thinks that ftp1 and ftp2 exist, sometimes not
21:03 🔗 Nemo_bis filezilla shows me ftp1 and pub symlinking ftp1/pub
21:04 🔗 Nemo_bis dolphin sees ftp1, ftp2 and pub symlinking who knows where
21:04 🔗 DFJustin they may have a round-robin behind the scenes too
21:04 🔗 Nemo_bis firefox sees only pub but also a bunch of other stuff
21:04 🔗 brayden Firefox shows pub and save with no icon and in italics.
21:06 🔗 Nemo_bis brayden: not to me :/
21:08 🔗 yipdw guess it depends on which Firefox version
21:08 🔗 yipdw I'm on 23.0; I see italics
21:08 🔗 Nemo_bis 23.0.1 here
21:09 🔗 Nemo_bis nah, I think the server is just giving different responses
21:10 🔗 Nemo_bis I see pub and save in italics and the link icon on konqueror :)
21:10 🔗 Nemo_bis and also ftp, ftp1, ftp2 :) still have to see two identical results :D
21:11 🔗 brayden ahh
21:11 🔗 brayden just noticed something
21:11 🔗 brayden DFJustin, good guess, it does seem to have a round robin, when you quit it has a banner saying the server, I got g5u0083c.atlanta.hp.com first time and g4u1138.houston.hp.com the second time
21:12 🔗 * Nemo_bis nods
21:13 🔗 Nemo_bis luckily connection is kept to the same server by wget for days
21:14 🔗 brayden that or you could just stick to one IP, they all seem to have different ones
21:16 🔗 brayden Have fun with HP, goodnight.
