PureBasic Forum

i do not reason but it does... sometimes.
i wrote a block ftp transfer program that can be safely paused and resumed.
problem is that program is not quiting but freeze-ing width not responding and i have to manually kill it.
i had also same problem when i use winscp (ftp program) and i want to abort upload.
maybe some server problem (settings)?
trying to resolve this problem. any hint?

ps: using transfer in background

also:

Syntax

Result = CheckFTPConnection(#Ftp)
Description

Checks if the specified #Ftp connection is still connected to the server.
Parameters

#Ftp Specifies the FTP connection to use.

Return value

Returns nonzero if the connection is still open and zero if the server closed the connection.

I am getting always zero while sending data to ftp server. I will try now width isftp to check connection.

ps: Win 7 32bit, server is pureftp, last PB (not beta).

Hi,
to increase the chances of getting an answer, you should keep to
"Please read before submitting a bug report" point 8.

I understand reason but i can not send my source here. It will be part of program that we sell.

I add few lines of code like a watchdog:
"if ftprogress in last second (after 1st second) is less than 1KB and ftprogress is less than result mark this try as failure and restart sending"
I thought that time watchdog(original idea) should be enough but ftpabort(ftpclose) is not working when sendftp is stuck.

testing now....

ps: i still think that checkftpconnection is not working and sendftpdata (in background) can stuck (freeze program).

finally i add a thread watchdog and "add on error support line" and now it works (quiting when ftp fails). i used this trick in linux version of my squid redirector.

but.... ftp (ul in my case; in background) is not bulletproof when internet is under heavy load!

We need more information to handle this bug, could you provide some ?

All my domains are on lastehosting. they use pureftp on centos. Trying to get another provider now.... and i will get more info.
What i am getting when using sendftpfile (in background), ftpprogress reach a certain number and sending stalls and when u try to abortftp or closeftp u got non responding program.
It happens when internet usage is high.
Another thing my hosting (latehosting) sad they check ftp resume(yeah i know that pb doesn't support this) but i still have no resume (winscp and similar programs). Maybe they do not know buissness, maybe pureftp server is pretty old, choose 3rd...
ps: ftpcheckconnection not working also (didn't try isftp or this is only for 1st handshaking after openftp)
