Trying to learn the PB FTP commands a few at a time and having an issue with the following (highly modified sample program) code:

Code: Select all


InitNetwork()

If OpenFTP(0, "server", "userID", "password", 0)

  SetFTPDirectory(0, "/interface")
  SetFTPDirectory(0, "ftp")
  SetFTPDirectory(0, "prod")
 
  CurrDir$ = GetFTPDirectory(0)
  
  Debug "Current directory on remote server is " + CurrDir$
  
  Debug "Remote directory listing is as follows:"
  
  If ExamineFTPDirectory(0)
      While NextFTPDirectoryEntry(0)
        Debug FTPDirectoryEntryName(0)
      Wend
  EndIf
  
  CloseFTP(0)
  
Else
  MessageRequester("Error", "Can't connect to the FTP server")
EndIf

Output in the Debug window is just the two Debug print statements - the current directory and the 'Remote directory listing is as follows:' ones. The Directory listing itself from within the if-while loop doesn't show anything. I would also note that the while-if loop is from one of the documentation samples.

What am I doing wrong???

Tnx.

Hi Tom,

for me it works if I remove the ',0' in the OpenFTP() command:

Code: Select all

If OpenFTP(0, "server", "userID", "password")

else I got an error.

Bernd:

Thanks for the assist - when I remove that last zero it also works just fine for me.

Guess I'm confused since that line, other than the specifics for the server and login data, was lifted verbatim from the ftp.pb file in the PureBasic examples folder:

Code: Select all

InitNetwork()

If OpenFTP(0, "127.0.0.1", "test", "test", 0)

Guess I'm missing something really subtle huh ?

Again, thanks for the assist - I'll move onward now.

Best,

Tom
