FtpDLX GetFile needs LocalPath - WeOnlyDo Discussion board

FtpDLX GetFile needs LocalPath (wodSFTP / wodSFTP.NET / wodSFTPdll)

by jschell, Thursday, June 01, 2006, 22:18 (6750 days ago)

I am using code with the demo library that looks like the following.

[code]
FtpDLX Ftp1 = new FtpDLX();
...
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(20 * 1024);
Ftp1.LocalPath= . ;
Ftp1.GetFile(ms, var);

[/code]

The above code should not require a local path given
that it is writing to memory.

However if the LocalPath is not set than an exception
is thrown saying that the LocalPath must be set.

I want to verify that it is not writing to the file system
even temporarily.

JSchell,

what exactly does RemotePath argument 'var' point to? What is its value?

It is set - I printed it via code. It looks like ./xxx/ where that represents a valid location on the remote machine.

Valid location that points to a remote file, or a remote folder?

If you don't specify filename, only a folder, perhaps that causes trouble?

From your ./xxx/ it looks to me like it's a folder, rigth?

BTW make sure you don't use relative paths ./...., make sure it's absolute /home/joe/xxx

Reason exception was thrown is because component was unable to determine filename of the file to open - because remote path was specified without a filename, and that filename couldn't be resolved from local path too - since stream was used..

You cannot open and read remote folder, if you know what I tried to say.

That doesn't seem likely. If I set the LocalPath to a value
that has does not exist on either the local or remote
machine the code still works.

No, you don't understand what I'm trying to say.

If I do this:

ftp1.GetFile( myfile , / )

then it will work, component will be smart enough to determine to download /myfile from remote side since 'myfile' was filename specified in the line. But,

If I do this:

MS = new MemoryStream
ftp1.GetFile(MS, / )

which file should be downloaded?? That's what you're doing, right? You specified

ftp1.GetFile(MS, ./xxx/ )

so where is filename specified that is to be opened on remote server? You only specified folders. I can't download /xxx/ if that folder, give me exact file inside that folder.

I should have specified that more clearly in the example.

It looks like this - I printed it to be sure

Ftp1.GetFile(ms, ./xxx/filename );

Ok, I think I was able to duplicate this problem. It is now fixed - can you please download wodFtpDLX.NET again and try it out?

Make sure Version property returns 1.1.0.25

Let me know how it goes!
