Problem Deleting File (General questions)

I'm having a little trouble deleting a file from one specific FTP server we connect to. This server is the one that Kreso spefically added the L8 directory format option for.

The error I'm receiving in the response is: 506 Connection manager error on file deletion

It does actually delete the file.

I'm contemplating adding code to just treat this as a warning and not have my program abort.

Just wanted to run this by you to see if you had any ideas.

Hi Dave,

We need to isolate your problem. Maybe you have problem with permissions.

Did you try to delete that file with some other FTP client? What is result?

If problem isn't with permissions, please can you send us FTPReply?

--------------------------------------------
Private Sub dlx1_FtpReplyEvent(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal Args As WeOnlyDo.Client.FtpReplyArgs) Handles dlx1.FtpReplyEvent
Debug.Print(Args.Command & & Args.ReplyText)
End Sub
--------------------------------------------

Hope I helped.

Regards,
Drazen

I know it's not a permission problem. Here is the entire log.

Dave,

I can't duplicate your problem.

Please go to command prompt and type:

telnet your.server.name 21

and send us first line returned.

Dave,

I'm still unable to duplicate your problem.

Can you provide us somehow access to your server? Your problem is hard to fix without duplicating it.

Drazen

This is even hard for me to reproduce, since the file truly gets deleted. This is an external production system, so I'll have to try to get something worked out for setting up a test. In the mean while, I'll be downloading you latest version for the other problem. Maybe it will resolve both. I'll let you know.

Unfortunately this is still a problem with version 1.1.5.56.

I'll try to find out if we have a way to connect to a test server so that I can consistently reproduce the error.

I figurued out what's going on. When we download the file from that server, it changes the attributes of the file so we can no longer see it. Why the delete doesn't abort with other programs as well is very misleading. It would be nice if you could get it to kick back the error file not found , instead of Connection manager error on file deletion . Just a thought?

Dave,

As you mention that file attributes is changed after download and partly you cannot see that file. I think our error is more appropriate then file not found error.
