Quoestion for Antonio

[Jeff Barnes]

Hi Antonio,

I have run into a problem and I hope you can help (there is another post on this but I wanted to start from scratch).

I am trying to do some FTP file transfers and am having problems so I went back to the basics...

I am playing with the icopyfil.prg sample and everything seems to work until I look at the file after the copy. The file size is 0KB. (I am only playing the the sending for now).

I get no errors. I have turned off the firewall.

What is really bothering me is that it works from my laptop but not my desktop. So I have to wonder, will it work when I send it to a client?

Is there anything you can think of that would cause this to go through the motions but leave me with an empty file?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Try the following sample (with your data) and let me know:

Jeff,

> What is really bothering me is that it works from my laptop but not my desktop

Do they have the same Windows version and service packs installed ?

Do you have any firewall software installed on your PC ?

[Jeff Barnes]

Antonio,

Both systems are Windows XP Pro (need to check SP levels)
Both have the same firewall (Zonealarm) but i even tried on the Desktop with ZoneAlarm shut down.

[Jeff Barnes]

Enrico,

I get the follow compiler errors:

[Antonio Linares]

Jeff,

You need to link wininet.lib from Borland LIBs.

[Jeff Barnes]

Enrico,

My first tests go well.

From my laptop, using your code, I can connect and send my file to both my home test FTP server and my hosted server and the file size is correct.

I will try from my desktop tonight and let you know the results.

Also, Is there any way to have a meter with these functions like what Antonio has set up in icopyfil.prg ?

Still no luck from the Desktop computer.

Both computers are running Win XP Pro SP2.
Firewalls disabled.

Right now, both computers (Laptop and Desktop) are connected to the same network.

Jeff,

Please change this line to see the bytes that are successfully written:

MsgInfo( FWRITE( hDest, cData, nRead ) )

Try also:

Enrico / Antonio,

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

You guys are amazing.

It's working now.

[Jeff Barnes]

Enrico,

Sorry, one last thing...

I am trying (without success) to modify your "download" code to an "upload" version so I can still have the progress bar but it looks like I can not do it the same way.

Can a progress bar also be used when uploading using your methods?

Once again, thanks Enrico.

I hope you know just how much we all appreciate your help here on these forums (and I do think I speak for all of us on this one).

Not only do you know your stuff ... you are also very quick to reply.
