basically, i see it connecting, it then just dis-connects and doesnt transfer any files.

i've tried this with 2 diff. ftp servers..

Blitzkrg, this sounds similar to the problem I was having with the script. Try using passive mode rather than the default active mode. You can do this either using the modified _FTPConnect function I posted (post #32) or by passing 0x08000000 to $l_flags as w0uter suggested in post #33.

nitro thanks for the reply.. i was hoping that did the trick. but it didnt.

i tried your new FTP submit app and it didnt work either..

i get connected and then disconnect..

but if i go to dos and just type ftp, everything works fine. i can login and have no issues.

I used your FTP functions in an application and it's working flawlessly. Great work, thank you.

The app I wrote allows the user to drag and drop a file onto the program icon, where it's zipped, encrypted, copied to a network share then ftp to another site. I elected to put the program in the users SEND TO folder so she merely need to right click on a file and choose SEND TO the ftp site. Works great for it's intended purpose (sending a secure monthly interface file to an out of network provider). If anyone is interested in the source, let me know. Many thanks to WOuter for his ftp functions.

I would love to integrate a progress bar into this to display current upload status. Has this been covered elsewhere already?

I.E. - a way to pull total num of bytes sent so I can plug that into a progress meter loop.

Hi wouter,

Done a greate job...

I am using ur ftp script to upload files...

But when uploading huge mp3 files, the gui window gets hanged.

I cant minimize or maximize the window till the upload is over.

Is there a work around so that my gui window wont get effected while huge uploads...

Thanks once again for the script...

Moin.

Hello all,

In over my head again! I have successfully used virtually every function in FTP.au3, but now find myself needing to get a list of the files on an FTP server for processing. I thought I'd get cute and try working with the wininet.dll myself, but quickly found myself lost. I believe the function I am looking for in the dll is FtpFindFirstFileA, but I could be wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hi w0uter,

I´m looking for the new FTP functions like InternetFindNextFile .

I´ve try it by myself, but I have the Problem to catch the returend Data from the DLL funktion call.

Please take a look at my code and correct it if you see any problems.

here is what i had, it doesnt work. (based on the fact that the new version will have a different return layout)

but it gives you and idea how to do it.

(btw you should start using msdn since it gives more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....ndfirstfile.asp )

Great job with FTP.au3. This really is the kind of script I hope to put up in a few months after really getting into the guts of the OS. (also, a mkdir variable may be incorrectly described in the comments)

Problem:

I notice with the old (ugly) version, you deal with the wildcard. I've tried using a wildcard with the new version but it fails on the upload. I simply change the filenames from *.jpg to actualfile.jpg and it works. Any ideas on this? I really don't want to put in an array for filenames. Anway, a mod to this script (or ftp.au3 if the problem is there) to make the wildcard work would be much appreciated.

;Sweeps all jpg's from a folder into a new subfolder named for current date/time

DirCreate('c:\aflpics\' & $sDateTime)

[w0uter]

you could use DIR to find all the possible matches and then upload them in a for loop.

How did you ever deal with it the first time? It must've been a pain I guess otherwise you probably would've done it in on this one. I'll do a loop, and an array and pick the cleanest looking one. I'll post what I come up with. Thanks again.

[jerryw]

This looks like a lot but it's not. I'm brand new to scripting, so theres nothing complicated.

Within you'll see my workaround to FTP (and FTP.au3) not liking the wildcard (*.jpg)

Theres a lot of specifics, so sorry, pick out what you need, email me with questions.

I really really love autoit.

How did you ever deal with it the first time?

the ftp.exe that was supplied by windows had wildcard support

so i had nothing to do with it.

FTPGetFileSize DllCall Function is here

Hi Jezzzy,

needed something like that myself. I haven't coded for years, neither for windows (only DOS), but figured this one out. Using the FTPGetFileSize function I made, you can periodically check how many bytes have been uploaded to the server. You will need some multithreading function though. My idea is that you make a seperate executable for measuring the progress, call it 'progress.bin' or something and launch it with commandline args just before you initiate the FTP transfer command.

The only single threaded way to do this would probably be programming the byte-by-byte transfer DllCall function from scratch. Not my recommendation, since it would be slower than this solution.

Hopefully this helps you out.

LaKKie.

: EDIT :

Bad suggestion of mine up there. The filesize can be checked on most FTP's _only_ after the transfer has completed.

To make a progressbar you'll have to think of something new. All my work was in vain...

I would love to integrate a progress bar into this to display current upload status. Has this been covered elsewhere already?

I.E. - a way to pull total num of bytes sent so I can plug that into a progress meter loop.

but i got sick of it and just decided to get some feedback first.

Congratulation, your UDF rocks. I hope it will included in next beta.

[Swimming_Bird]

hrm, are the files on the first post the latest? the UDF there doesnt seem to have all the functions spoken with in this thread. it also has no documentation for how to overwrite when using ftpputfile.

[w0uter]

its pretty much on hold untill i know i will pass school
