FTP-directory

[Dietmar Jahnel]

I'm trying to read the files from a ftp-server.

I modified the ftpdir-sample and always get "oFTP:hFTP is null"
both oInternet:hWinINet and oInternet:hSession are empty

Am I doing something wrong or is it a Vista-related problem?
Many thanks for help,
Dietmar



function Main()

local oInternet := TInternet():New()
// local oFTP := TFTP():New( "207.46.133.140", oInternet ) //
local oFTP := TFTP():New( "ftp://ftp.ourserver.at/", oInternet )

local aFiles

if ! Empty( oFTP:hFTP )
aFiles = oFTP:Directory( "*.*" )
AEval( aFiles, { | aFile | MsgInfo( aFile[ 1 ] ) } )
else
MsgAlert( "oFTP:hFTP is null" )
endif

oInternet:End()

MsgInfo( "Done!" )

return nil

Dietmar,

Just change this line in your code and its working fine (tested on Vista):

local oFTP := TFTP():New( "ftp.microsoft.com", oInternet )

Antonio,

I tried this sample on two PCs - the result is always "oFTP:hFTP is null"

How can I find out what the problem is?

Thanks (again) for help,
Dietmar

Dietmar,

Can you connect to ftp.microsoft.com from the Internet Explorer ?

[Dietmar Jahnel]

yes I can connect to ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/ from Internet Explorer.

Dietmar,

Here I run Vista as Administrator, please try it as Administrator to see if that makes a difference, thanks

[Dietmar Jahnel]

It does not make a difference.
I tried on a PC with WindowsXP in a different environment - same result.
I built the sample with xHB RC16 and FWH 7.05

On my vistaPCs its only me with all the rights possible.

Must be something else...

Dietmar,

I email you my EXE built using FWH 7.07 and Borland. Please try it there, thanks

[James Bott]

I am getting the message "oFTP:hFTP is null" here too (actually oFTP:hFTP is equal to zero). I am using FWH 7.05, Borland, and XP Pro SP2. I have administrator rights.

Antonio,

your exe is working here as well!
any idea how to solve the problem?

Thank,
Dietmar

[Antonio Linares]

James,

Please try it with FWH 7.07, thanks

[Antonio Linares]

Dietmar,

Solved. Try it this way:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

local oInternet := TInternet():New()
local oFTP := TFTP():New( "ftp.microsoft.com", oInternet )
local aFiles

if ! Empty( oFTP:hFTP )
aFiles = oFTP:Directory( "*.*" )
AEval( aFiles, { | aFile | MsgInfo( aFile[ 1 ] ) } )
else
MsgAlert( "oFTP:hFTP is null" )
endif

oInternet:End()

MsgInfo( "Done!" )

return nil

DLL32 FUNCTION InternetOpen( cApp as LPSTR, n1 AS DWORD, n2 AS LPSTR, n3 AS LPSTR,;
                             n4 AS DWORD ) AS LONG PASCAL ;
                             FROM "InternetOpenA" LIB "wininet.dll"


[Dietmar Jahnel]

now it' working fine!

many thanks!

[Antonio Linares]

glad to know its fine

[Dietmar Jahnel]

Sorry, but now I have another problem:

I need to read the file name and put it in a text file using:

Code: Select all  Expand view

oText := TTxtFile():New( datei )

FOR x = 1 to len(aSpringer)
   oText:Add(aSpringer[x,1])
NEXT

that' s the result:
