I set up a small anonymous access vsftpd FTP server for a Python class that I am teaching.



2 file snippets illustrate the problem:



-rw-r--r-- 1 david ftp 7,6K Mai 20 16:28 Adafruit_CharLCD.py



-rw-r--r-- 1 david ftp 581 Mai 20 16:30 arrays.py*



Both files have identical permissions, Nautilus correctly sees them as Python files and assigns Geany as the preferred program to execute. Permissions seem OK for an anonymous FTP server.



When I double click the first file Adafruit at least it opens as a text file (Geany does not start) which the student can copy/paste, but the second file
does not open at all, not even as text.



As the files are identical, I assume that the problem is not connected to my vsftpd.conf configuration.



Has anyone any idea why the second line cannot be opened?



The only files that open seem to be .pdf and .txt.
Also .pptx etc cannot be opened, but pdf exports of the same are OK
