Which port to try? (General questions)

by mwulfe, Wednesday, September 09, 2009, 02:22 (5553 days ago)

I recently wrote a VB.Net app with wodSFTP to enable clients to transmit files back to my SFTP site. It worked very well so far except for one client, who said the app used the incorrect port. He suggested port 21, which I did in a revision, but it still did not work.

What ports should I try when I trap the connection error?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,


Port 21 usually is used for FTP or FTPS servers. Such servers is also file transfer servers like SFTP servers.

Unfortunately wodSFTP only supports SFTP protocol.

We have other components: wodFtpDLX and wodFtpDLX.NET that supports FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocol.

Maybe you should test with wodFtpDLX or wodFtpDLX.NET and see if it works. Usage is much same as in wodSFTP.

You can specify which protocol you want to use in component Protocol Property.

Let us know how it goes.
