Hi,
I try to get a file with this simple block of code, but nothing will be received. I've also attached debug window screenshot. what's wrong?
Code: Select all
InitNetwork()
If OpenFTP(0, "ftp.xxxxx.net", "username", "password")
Debug GetFTPDirectory(0)
SetFTPDirectory(0, "first")
Debug GetFTPDirectory(0)
Result = ReceiveFTPFile(0, "file.txt", "c:\file.txt", #True)
Repeat
Debug FTPProgress(0)
Delay(300)
Until FTPProgress(0) = -3 Or FTPProgress(0) = -2
Else
Debug "Can't connect"
EndIf
Here is my ftp file and folder structure:
/
/first [Folder]
--- send_this_now.sql [File]
--- file.txt [File]
I have linux based server and all permissions are set to 755 or 777.

Hi,
I tested it with:
Code: Select all
Repeat
State = FTPProgress(0)
Debug State
Delay(10)
Until State = #PB_FTP_Finished Or State = #PB_FTP_Error
CloseFTP(0)
It works like expected.
The debug output is:
dir
dir
-1
-1
6048
:
:
20546
71844
-3
If you call FTPProgress() more than once, than you did not receive always the same result.
So I use it only one time in the loop.

Thank you infratec, but it doesn't help. I use this method of getting progress from PB manual.

What about "Result" ?
It would be better for us to be able to try it with your server. Half of the equation is the code above, the other is on the server.
Did you try it with asynchronous off ?

Hi,
have you tried it already 'manual':
Run 'cmd' and than use 'ftp' to do it by hand.
If this works, than the PB code works also.

The strange thing is that when I set local path to drive C: (c:\file.txt) nothing happens, but when I choose different
location such as d:\file.txt it works fine!
I've tested with both Windows FTP and PB and they act similar to what I said. Is that something wrong with C:
or am I missing something here?

You require on newer OS Admin-Privilege to write on C:\ !
It is never a good idea to write on the root of C:\

Sound like a permissions problem. Are you a standard user ? Try to save in your user's home.
EDIT: thomas was faster

Hi,
you are a victim of UAC (UserAccessControl)
Since Vista you are not allowed to do several things.
One of them is to write in the root directory of your system volume.
