I tested with octave-2023-03-29-21-40-release-w64 from buildbot.octave.space on Windows 11.
It seems to be working correctly:

>> f = ftp('ftp.gnu.org')
f =

  FTP object
    host: ftp.gnu.org
    user: anonymous
     dir: /
    mode: binary

>> x = dir(f)
x =

  19x1 struct array containing the fields:

    name
    date
    bytes
    isdir
    datenum

>> uint8(x(1).name)
ans =

  67  82  89  80  84  79  46  82  69  65  68  77  69

>> mget(f,"welcome.msg")
>> system('cat welcome.msg')
NOTICE (Updated October 15 2021):

If you maintain scripts used to access ftp.gnu.org over FTP,
we strongly encourage you to change them to use HTTPS instead.

Eventually we hope to shut down FTP protocol access, but plan
to give notice here and other places for several months ahead
of time.

Thanks again for the patch.

Closing as fixed.

The patch looks good to me. I pushed a slightly modified version with you as the author to the stable branch here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/7faaf2c6aaec

It will be part of the next stable release of Octave (version 8.2.0). Or you could check the changes by using a nightly build from tomorrow or later that should become available here:
https://buildbot.octave.space/#/download

The source code needs the patch applied and then octave recompiled.

Hi John,
I confirm that windows effectively adds '\r'.
I'm an experienced Matlab user, but relatively new to Octave.
Please let me know if I can provide any help.

Regards,

Mathieu

So running some more tests and the list function is adding (or leaving '\r') in windows, but not in linux.


Linux:


octave:1> f = ftp('ftp.gnu.org')
f =

  FTP object
    host: ftp.gnu.org
    user: anonymous
     dir: /
    mode: binary

octave:2> x = dir(f)
x =

  19x1 struct array containing the fields:

    name
    date
    bytes
    isdir
    datenum

octave:3> uint8(x(1).name)
ans =

  67  82  89  80  84  79  46  82  69  65  68  77  69


In windows:


octave:3> uint8(x(1).name)
ans =

  67  82  89  80  84  79  46  82  69  65  68  77  69 13

Im guessing pattern.match in libinterp/corefcn/__ftp__.cc is failing to match names currectly in windows, but have not looked further to verify

Thank you for your comments.
Octave was downloaded from https://octave.org/download.html
The application was started in gui mode.
Should I try to install an earlier release?
Regards,
Mat

assuming windows, how was octave installed, and how was the octave application started?

Works for me with 7.3 on Linux.  This might be a Windows-specific problem.

mget function cannot find the remote file. dir and mput functions work properly.

This simple example doesn't work :

>> f = ftp ("ftp.gnu.org")

f =

  FTP object
    host: ftp.gnu.org
    user: anonymous
     dir: /
    mode: binary

>> mget(f,"welcome.msg")

error: _ftp_mget_: file not found
error: called from
    mget at line 44 column 3
