PutFile (myMemoryStream) (wodSFTP / wodSFTP.NET / wodSFTPdll)

I am testing the SFTP component and doing a .PutFile with a memory stream. Between each letter is a NUL. Anyone do this previously and know how to handle this?

Hi Hal,

Here is example how you can use memory stream inside wodSFTP.NET PutFile Method:
[code] Dim dataout As String
dataout = this is some text

Dim ms As System.IO.MemoryStream
ms = New System.IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(dataout))

sftp1.PutFile(ms, /home/test/testfile.txt )[/code]
Can you maybe try something like that and let us know how it goes?

Hope I helped.

I have narrowed this issue down to when the file being transfered is in a format other than ASCII.

Is there something I need to do different for transfering unicode?

Hal

You only need to change encoding from ASCII to Unicode inside my code. Does it work like that maybe?

Drazen

When I set to UNICODE is when I get the [NUL]

for example:

t[NUL]e[NUL]s[NUL]t[NUL]

Hal

Can you show us maybe your code snippet?

Drazen

This is my function

[code]Public Function Send(ByVal FileData As MemoryStream, ByVal UserName As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal Server As String, ByVal Port As Integer, ByVal OutputPath As String)
Dim myFT As New SFTP
Dim toReturn As Boolean
Try
myFT.Hostname = Server
myFT.Login = UserName
myFT.Password = Password
myFT.RemotePath = OutputPath
myFT.Port = Port
myFT.Blocking = True
myFT.Connect()

myFT.TransferMode = SFTP.TransferModes.Binary
myFT.PutFile(FileData)
FileData.Close()
toReturn = True
Catch ex As Exception
toReturn = False
Finally
myFT.Dispose()
End Try
Return toReturn
End Function[/code]
This is my calling event
[code]Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SFTPFileTransfer.Send(New IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(TextBox1.Text)), _
user , pw , server , 22, _
String.Format( /path/TestFilename{0}.txt , DateTime.Now.ToString( yyyyddMMHHmmss )))
End Sub[/code]

Hal,

Can you please change encoding from Unicode to UTF8 (this is unicode also).

Something like this:[code]System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(TextBox1.Text)[/code]
Does that help maybe?

Drazen

UTF8 produced the expected results. Thanks.
