FTPImplicit login (General questions)

Im having trouble logging to a Secure FTP server using implicit. Can you please send me example code for requesting a server certificate, accepting it and logging in?

Thanks

Hi.

What kind of trouble do you have? Server's certificate is accepted by default. Basically, all you need to do is set Protocol = FTPSimplicit, and possibly Port = 990 (or something else) and try to connect.

Does that work? If not, where exactly does it fail?

We have the same issue. Successfully connected using Protocol = FTPSimplicit, and possibly Port = 990 but not able to putfile/putfiles

Hi Jessica,

Can you maybe show us your PutFile code snippet?

Please make sure that you always use full, absolute local and remote path in PutFile Method.

I use wodFTPDLX.PutFiles LocalPath, RemotePath, 1

LocalPath = C:Data and RemotePath = /

wodFTPDLX.PutFiles LocalPath, RemotePath, 1 errored out and files not sent

LocalPath = C:Data est.txt and RemotePath = /
wodFTPDLX.PutFile LocalPath, RemotePath, 1 errored out and the file was not sent

I tried wodFTPDLX.MoveFile LocalPath+ * , C:Archive worked OK.

Thanks!

Jessica,

Did your received some error maybe?

Also, are you sure that you are using correct remote path? Do you have some sub folder maybe where you should upload your files?

Something like this:
[code]wodFTPDLX.PutFiles c:\Data, /home/somefolder , 1[/code]

I am sure about the remote directory. Tried Filezilla before noticing WOD might support implicit.

Jessica,

Did you received some error maybe?

What happens if you try to do same using our samples? You can find sample sin component Samples folder.

I tried using C:Program FilesWeOnlyDo.comFtpDLXSamplesVBComponent1. Simple with FTPSimplicit as protocol, blocking and passive.

When I click connect, there were a few statechange logs.

When I selected the file to upload and click putfile, I got the msgbox with Runtime error 30003 component busy .
By clicking Debug, I was lead to the function

Private Sub Command10_Click()
PS1.Value = PS1.Min
Ftp1.PutFile
End Sub

Thanks!

Jessica,

I just tired to run Xlight FTP Server 3.6 on my side and wodFtpDLX PutFiles worked without any problem.

Can you please try this simple code and if error occur send us output from FtpReply Event:
[code]Dim WithEvents dlx1 As wodFtpDLXCom
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set dlx1 = New wodFtpDLXCom

dlx1.HostName = your_hostname
dlx1.Blocking = True
dlx1.Protocol = FTPSimplicit
dlx1.Login = your_login
dlx1.Password = your_password
dlx1.Passive = True
dlx1.Connect

dlx1.PutFiles c:\Data , /
End Sub

Private Sub dlx1_FTPReply(ByVal Command As String, ByVal ReplyCode As Integer, ByVal ReplyText As String)
Debug.Print Command & & ReplyText
End Sub[/code]
Please also send us full log from FileZilla successful upload. So we can compare it with wodFtpDLX.

You can send that data to techsupport@weonlydo.com

Jessica,

What happens if you set StrictHost Property to True before Connect Method?

More help for StrictHost Property you can find here:
http://www.weonlydo.com/FtpDLX/Help/wodFtpDLX-StrictHost.html

That worked like a champ! Thank you so much for your help!

I got new problem here. I use that function to make a component. It failed sending all the files at a time if the total size is larger than 500K. And I tried to send multiple times with 3 mins interval. However, the component sometimes hang. I have to shutdown the component which even freezing the whole COM.
Do you have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Jessica,

What happens if you try same our samples?

Also, do you use maybe Sleep API in your code? If you do, please remove it because it blocks same thread where wodFtpDLX lives in.
