Test for file existance in wodFtpDLX - WeOnlyDo Discussion board

Linear

Is there a way to test for file existance in wodFtpDLX? I don't want to use ListNames() and ListItem() methods, since it would take awhile to retreive and parse through the whole directory listing. I noticed that the regular SFTP component has a GetAttributes() method, but I do not see one for wodFtpDLX.

Is there a quick way to check for file exists before I attempt to download a file? If I perform a GetFile() on a fle that does not exist, it writes a 0-byte file to my destination, which I do not want.

Kaczmar,

are you sure it creates zero-sized file locally? I would rather fix this bug if it exists, since finding answer to your question isn't that easy. I think that in FTP protocol there's no convinient way for that. You may try to use RawSend( SIZE filename & VbCrLf) but that's not supported on all servers.

We have tweaked wodFtpDLX a bit so it doesn't create this file if remote doesn't exist. Please download it again (or request update if you're licensed user).

Hope that helps.

Excellent! I have downloaded the new version of the component and verified that it does not create a 0-byte file.

Thank you very much for your prompt assistance.

It was no small factor, however, that your support in getting me up and running made me buy from you.

Thank you very much for the rapid responses. I was a little nervous about dealing with a company that is on a different continent from me. You have proven my concerns to be unfounded.

We have recently completed a large 1200+ location project where reliable Telnet and SSH connectivity was required. wodSSH worked flawlessly and allowed our staff to complete our project ontime and within budget.
