Description
I do daily checks of a public FTP folder to look for updated weather data, and sometimes, FluentFtp throws an exception when I call GetListing(). We have logged 77 of these exceptions since March 2025. When it works successfully, the recursive query currently returns 21,609 files.
I realize the problem could be the fault of the FTP server, but I'd appreciate it if we could get a more clear exception message from FluentFtp than "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
Path to the FTP I'm trying to list recursively:
ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/precip/CPC_UNI_PRCP/GAUGE_CONUS/V1.0/
Exception:
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at FluentFTP.AsyncFtpClient.GetListingInternal(String listcmd, FtpListOption options, Boolean retry, CancellationToken token)
at FluentFTP.AsyncFtpClient.GetListing(String path, FtpListOption options, CancellationToken token)
at FluentFTP.AsyncFtpClient.GetListingRecursive(String path, FtpListOption options, CancellationToken token)
at FluentFTP.AsyncFtpClient.GetListing(String path, FtpListOption options, CancellationToken token)
at FtpClientTools.GetListOfFilesOnFtpAsync(String fullPathToFtpFolder, Boolean recursive, String username, String password)
My code:
bool recursive = true;
FtpListItem[] fileListing = await myAsyncFtpClient.GetListing(ftpPath, recursive ? FtpListOption.Recursive : FtpListOption.Auto);
FluentFtp v53.0.1
Thank you
