Error with FTPSimplicit (General questions)

oFTP.Passive = 0

Hi Brian,

Which component are you using?

I have tried your code with wodFtpDLX ActiveX component and wodFtpDLX.NET component and it is worked like a charm.

I was able to connect to Serv-U server with FTP Simplicit protocol.

How can we duplicate your problem? Maybe you can give us access to your server? What is your sever type/vendor/name?

You can check this out if you go in command prompt any type:

telnet your.hostname 990

and send us first line returned.

Did you try with our samples in component samples folder? Do you have same problem?

I'm sorry but I have to ask all those questions in order to isolate your problem and try to resolve it.

Hope I helped.

wodFtpDLX

telnet returned nothing

I can not give you the info on the remote server as it is blocked by IP.

what is most relevant sample for me to look at there are so many samples in so many different languages I get lost.

Hi,

The code you provided worked for me great. This error usually occurs when Connect Method is called without setting the username/password.

What version of the component are you using?

Could you send us a sample which we could run on our side to see why this occurs?

Also, I noticed that you set port property before setting the protocol. That wrong, since Protocol Property will automatically set Port property to the default port for the specified protocol.

I can not send you the code as it requires a database and the site I am trying to reach blocks IP addresses it does not know

I will reverse the port and protocol and only set the port if it is not FTPSimplicit and let you know if that works

Hi,

Could you also try one of our samples? Does it work?

Maybe you could write a basic sample with no other code then the one needed for you to connect to the server?

Also, can you please check what does your Version property return?

Which sample? there are 2 many for me to filter through to find one with FTSImplicit. I do not care what language I can convert.

I can not give you any more code that what you have I can not share the FTP info and if I could you will not have the right ip address to connect anyway.

Give me the best sample and I will try it. I appreciate all the effort you are putting forth. thanks

Hi,

You can try our 1. Simple VB sample located in SamplesVBComponent the folder where you installed the component into.

Once you run it, just insert the appropriate information into the fields, and select FTPSimplicit Protocol.
