FTP: Request to share samples

[nageswaragunupudi]

Many of our colleagues are successfully using different approaches to upload/download files to/from FTP Servers and also to manage folders and files on FTP servers.

At the same time, there are also some users who are seeking such solutions.

We thought of pooling all approaches used by different users under one thread for the benefit of all members of our community.

We, therefore, request all those friends who are using FTP, to consider sharing their knowledge with others by posting some sample programs here.

Thanking you all in advance.

Hi Friends,
These are the ftp functions, I have been using to Upload/Download files, past several years with out any fail:

Every day the use of SFTP is more required. FTP is less and less used

[Antonio Linares]

Paco,

thanks

I guess you mean FTPS and not SFTP

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), not to be confused with FTPS (Secure FTP), runs on top of the SSH (Secure Shell) protocol

edited: I just tested Harbour hbtip connecting to a FTPS server and these lines worked as expected:

local oUrl := TUrl():New( "ftps://username:password@domainname.com" )

? oUrl:cProto

[Antonio Linares]

a very good FTP example using Harbour contrib hbtip.lib:

viewtopic.php?p=240801#p240801

[hmpaquito]

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a secure file protocol that is used to access, manage, and transfer files over an encrypted SSH transport. When compared with the traditional FTP protocol, SFTP offers all the functionality of FTP, but it is more secure and easier to configure.

Thank you.
Would you like to share with other users how are you using SFTP, please?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Mr. Nages,

On one occasion I was required to use SFTP. I searched and searched in Fwh and Harbour and found no way. I finally had to rely on FTP

thks mr. Enrico

BTW, is it possible obtain PSFTP command result ? success or not success ? how to ?

I don't know. Please experiment with psftp.exe.

New Harbour and mod_harbour FTP upload using Curl example based on Mario's post and on mod_harbour callphp.prg example:

Working fine. You can test it from mod_harbour live examples:

Now we need a SFTP server...
