Errors out with Windows Explorer #5

This project would be great to let Windows more easily connect to Amazon S3's. Linux and Mac systems already have FUSE and s3fs to mount these, but Windows doesn't have good tools.

However, this project seems to have problems when working with Windows Explorer's built in FTP client. To replicate first get your faetus-server going and then in Windows 7 click on "My Computer." In the blank space with all the drives listed, right-click and selected "Add a network location." Click next twice with the default options. When it asks you to "Specify the location of your website" enter "ftp://" and the address and port faetus is hosted on and click "Next." In "Specify a User Name and Password..." uncheck "Log on anonymously" and enter your login. Click next twice. When connecting it will ask for your password.

You may see your bucket(s) at this point or it may just error out. However if you do see your buckets and try to double-click one it will always error out with:

"An error occurred opening that folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder.

Details:
200 Type set to: ASCII.
227 Entering passive mode (192,168,1,100,215,201).
550 No such file or directory."

192,168,1,100, is my IP address with commas separating them, FYI.

Also, I noticed a seperate project which is based on your source notes "whats new:

  • tested, fixed some problems with some clients, now it works with windows explorer, ie8, firefox, chrome, smartftp, filezilla, ncftp, webdrive, ftpdrive and probably most other clients."

The project is: https://github.com/ybrs/putio-ftp-connector

You may want to take a look at their source and roll any good changes back into faetus.
