Opening in FTP File tree, UEv12 - Error 550 not a plain file

    My files I am accessing are in /u/arts/src/10 and I am using the File Tree view and FTP in UE-32 v12. When I attempt to open any file in this directory (or any other user under /u) it gives me an error 550: "not a plain file". The dialogue box shows the following...



    As you can see, it appears as though it is attempting to download the 'src' directory instead of the file that I'm actually trying to open. This also occurs when UE attempts to re-open files from a previous session that were open upon closing that happen to be on FTP.

    I can open files just fine if I use the "Open From FTP" option in the File menu.

    Does anybody know why this is or if there is a solution to it? The server is SCO-Unix. I've heard of other people having this issue as well, but have not yet heard of a solution.

      Just a little info for you guys in case you see the same thing. It's not posted anywhere, but since I saw other people with the same problem, it wouldn't hurt to leave it here as a reference for others.

      Is this a bug or a misconfigured client? The server is SCO-Unix. I've heard of other people having this issue as well, but have not yet heard of a solution.

      Hello Art,

      Thanks for your message. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. I believe the issue you're seeing is actually due to a feature that allows UltraEdit-32 to open a file to a specified line number. The default character used to indicate a line number on the command line is: '/'. The use of this character by default is unfortunate but for legacy reasons has not been changed.

      If you go to Advanced -> Configuration -> Editor -> Delimiters and change this character to "|" rather than "/" does this resolve the issue you're seeing?

      Thanks, Troy
