PB.Ex FTP (Windows)

[GogaII]

Hi RSBasic!
change, please, the link to PB.Ex_FTP.zip on your first message (on the first page) from http to https. Otherwise browsers are not happy of http, write different nonsense and don't allow downloading.

[RSBasic]

Thank you for the hint. I changed my download link.
Over the weekend I will also change the links of my other downloads.

You're welcome!
I tried to use your ftp-library. I think it has a problem with working with some ftp-servers like FileZilla.
I checked the working of several famous FTP clients ( such as FileZilla, Total Commander, and WinSCP) with my FileZilla server, and they all worked perfectly. But I couldn't get access to the FTP server using your library. I investigated a log from my FileZilla server. The mistake upon using your library was "GnuTLS error -8: A packet with illegal or unsupported version was received." According to online, it means the FTP client tries to use a lower version than TSL v1.2
All the FTP clients I used above warned me that the FileZilla server used a self-signed certificate but they continued working. I don't know how it affects the server response, but I just report it. If you are interested in investigating the problem, I can give you access to my FTP server.

That would be helpful if you could set up test access for me.

I've sent a private message to you.

Thank you, I'll test it today.

PB.Ex FTP 1.0.7.0 has been released.

Changelog:

• Updated: .NET Framework 4.7.2 > .NET Framework 4.8 (required for TLS 1.3)
• Added: TLS 1.3 support

Important note: Due to the new version of the .NET library, asynchronous downloading and uploading no longer works. I'll have to fix it later.

Thank you for the test access. With this version it works.

Great! Thank you too!

Hi RSBasic,
I think the function FTPProgressEx() doesn't work correctly.
To check it I even used your examples from the archive and I've always received 0.
Except my coding I also used this code from the archive:

Code: Select all

....

Define ErrorOutput$ = Space(128)
Define FileName$ = Space(#MAX_PATH)

Debug "SFTP..."

If OpenFTPEx(1, #PBEx_FTP_Protocol_SFTP, "test.rebex.net", 22, "demo", "password", #PB_UTF8, @ErrorOutput$)
  ;If OpenFTPEx(1, #PBEx_FTP_Protocol_SFTP, "demo.wftpserver.com", 2222, "demo-user", "demo-user", #PB_UTF8, @ErrorOutput$)
  SetFTPDirectoryEx(1, "pub", @ErrorOutput$)
  SetFTPDirectoryEx(1, "example", @ErrorOutput$)
  ;SetFTPDirectoryEx(1, "download", @ErrorOutput$)
  ;SetFTPDirectoryEx(1, "upload", @ErrorOutput$)
  
  If ExamineFTPDirectoryEx(1, @ErrorOutput$)
    While NextFTPDirectoryEntryEx(1, @ErrorOutput$)
      FTPDirectoryEntryNameEx(1, @FileName$, @ErrorOutput$)
      Debug FileName$
    Wend
    
  EndIf
  
  Define a
  Define PercentValue = 0
  Define TransferRate = 0
  Define EstimatedTime = 0
  
  ReceiveFTPFileEx(1, "wftpserver-linux-64bit.tar.gz", "D:\aa.gz", 1, @ErrorOutput$)
  
  For a=1 To 100
    FTPProgressEx(1, @PercentValue, @TransferRate, @EstimatedTime, @ErrorOutput$)
    Debug PercentValue ; <<<<<<<<<< always = 0 
    Debug TransferRate  ; <<<<<<<<<< always = 0 
    Debug EstimatedTime  ; <<<<<<<<<< always = 0 
    Debug "--------"
    Delay(100)
  Next
  
  Delay(10000)
  
  CloseFTPEx(1, @ErrorOutput$)
Else
  Debug ErrorOutput$
EndIf

Could you have a look at it when you have free time?
P.S. The link to download the archive from the first page still doesn't work correctly. Browsers can't finish this operation.

Important note: Due to the new version of the .NET library, asynchronous downloading and uploading no longer works. I'll have to fix it later.

Please use the previous version.

[GogaII]

Sorry. I've missed this warning (
Ok, I'll look forward to a fix.

[GogaII]

Please use the previous version.

- It's impossible to use version Dll library v. 1.0.6.0 because it doesn't work with FTP servers with TSL 1.2 or higher

In addition I'd like to add some points which I found.
- there is confusion with the value @ErrorOutput and @ErrorOutput$ in the description on the first page. If you ignore it, you will receive a hard-to-diagnose error in the code with many lines (of course, if you don't use EnableExplicit)
-OpenFTPEx() "misses" "0.0.0.0" as a ftp address.

If you need FTP server for test I"ll provide it to you as long as you need.

[RSBasic]

Since SFTP is supported in the current PB beta version, this library is no longer needed and development is discontinued.

Although I have not used PB.Ex FTP, thank you for your great support!
