Created attachment 116511 [details] remote log Steps to reproduce: - create new PHP project from remote server - in the Upload field (step 3 "Remote Configuration") add some non existing path (in Manage Remote connection the "initial directory" is left to "/") - press Next - NetBeans tries to download files but results in "No files available, navigate back and verify..." (that's OK) - but the selected directory structure was actually created on the server (see log with MKD commands) Why is are the directories created? Not sure if it is a bug or expected behavior but since I can't proceed to next step when "No files available..." and "download empty project" the structure is useless. So as a result every typo can create new directories. I noticed this on localhost (vsftpd) and on some "real" ftp server as well. If there is no way to avoid creating folders would it be possible to "download empty project" and continue working? Log is from localhost with chrooted user account. "Initial directory" is "/" and "Upload directory" is "/home/vriha/fooProject/someFile" (I did not realized the chroot setting :) Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201203071105) Java: 1.7.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 22.1-b02 System: Linux version 3.0.0-16-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
(In reply to comment #0) > - in the Upload field (step 3 "Remote Configuration") add some non existing > path (in Manage Remote connection the "initial directory" is left to "/") I meant "Upload directory" field
It is expected behavior but I will try distinguish situations where the directory should not be created (like this one) and where it should be created (for upload). Thanks for reporting.
