mkdir at nested path about node-ftp HOT 10 CLOSED

Yeah it appears so. Welcome to FTP. :-)

from node-ftp.

ah bitches. this is the worst. i don't even know if i can keep writing this script if that's really the case... ugh.

from node-ftp.

Basically your only options are:

• Record cwd, split path on '/', loop over each level doing a mkdir and then change to the next dir, and when finished change back to originally recorded cwd
• Use SSH/SFTP for greater flexibility

Alright, so I decided to add a fairly simple algorithm to do this mkdir -p-style of directory creation in 1f32e8e. It hides behind an optional recursive parameter.

Example:

ftp.mkdir('/some/path', true, function(err) {});

Ahh you're the best! Thanks so much, this is a life saver : )

About your recursive algo, I encountered a error with multiple concurrent mkdir commands with same path : sometimes (not always) the last one throw "[Error: Create directory operation failed.] code: 550".

I don't know if this lib can do something about it to prevent such an error because it seems to come from FTP protocols itself...

"Multiple concurrent mkdir commands with same path"

Do you mean you're connected with more than one ftp client and performing the same mkdir operation on each at the same time? Otherwise if it's the same connection, commands are queued so that would not be a problem.

from node-ftp.

Yes, I do parallel operations (each instance got his own ftp client indeed). Unfortunately, a singleton with a single connection is useless in my case because I have multiple instance and the problem can still happened. Either I do a series (but the problem remains with multiple instances) or I fix by checking the possibility to CWD (!cwd then mkdir then cwd, then put) and some magic happens miraculously. =)

Yeah it can get tricky when you have simultaneous access from multiple clients like that. I'm not sure what else this module can do to help with this kind of situation. I'm open to pull requests to improve the recursive mkdir functionality.

Any updates for this?
