[ftputil] Problem using FTPHost.makedirs()

[Roger Demetrescu]

Hi Stefan, how are you doing?


I've find an issue with ftputil 3.2 (well, it happens with 2.8 and 3.0
too) when trying to use host.makedirs() withing a FTP server that
doesnt show any directories/files under de root ('/')

My customer gave me this directory to work:

/aaa/bbb/ccc


When I try to create this directory:   ./ddd/eee/
FTPHost.makedirs() try do create those directories:

/aaa
/aaa/bbb
/aaa/bbb/ccc
/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd
/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee



Of course, /aaa already exists, and the ftputil does this check to see
if it should reraise the exception:

    if not self.path.isdir(next_directory):



The problem is: I am able to do a host.chdir('/aaa/bbb/ccc')
but if I do a host.chdir('/') and try to list de files and
directories, it returns an empty list.


Using FileZilla to connect to this FTP server gave me the same result.
I am able to see all files and directories under /aaa/bbb/ccc but I
see nothing under the root:  /


FTP is a Microsoft FTP Service (don't know any more details).


So, any suggestion on how to make ftputil stop trying to create theses
directories:

/aaa
/aaa/bbb
/aaa/bbb/ccc


and only try to create:

/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd
/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee


since my current directory is already /aaa/bbb/ccc ?


Thanks in advance!
