Wouter's FTP UDF w/ beta not working

[plastix]

Hi All

I had been using Wouter's FTP UDF without any problems for a while... but as of my last update to 3.2.1.12(I only have beta installed) it doesn't appear to work.

Any solutions for this yet ? TIA

ahh double posting... like I said in the other threa":

Care to share the issue you have or do we need to guess ?

Apologies.

I had replied in the FTP thread to confirm that the functions did not appear to work - then posted here as a support question as i noted that the post by Walkabout was actually nearly a month old...

The _FTPOpen command does not set @error, but the _FTPConnect command no longer appears to try to connect (I don't see any activity through the firewall etc) - all the details are correct, and my previously functioning script no longer appears to try to make a connection either. The Function itself is untouched... I guess it is something to do with the DLLCall

Any help / guidance appreciated.

Just tried W0uters set of UDF's and they work fine for me ....

Thanks JdeB. Thats odd... I downloaded clean FTP UDF and example - modified example connection info (username,password,server) and same thing is happening... I get a handle returned with _FTPOpen, but _FTPConnect returns '0' with @error = -1 (again, with no attempt to make an outside connection)

Commandline FTP works ok... running XPSP2

w0uter's functions assume wininet.dll is loaded into AutoIt at all times. This was previously the case but is no longer the case. As a result, each function call loads the DLL, use it and then frees it. This breaks any handles the function gives you. The simple solution is to call DllOpen() to make sure the DLL really is loaded at all times. The long-term solution is somebody needs to fix the library so that it actually enforces the invariant that the DLL is always loaded.

@Valik - many many thanks. By using DllOpen, using the handle in the FTP functions,and then DllClose once completed works OK. Thanks again for pointing out the AutoIt changes etc.

when has this behaviour been changed? There is no DllOpen() needed for 3.2.0.1 (using the FTP UDF!) but it is needed for 3.2.1.12. See my post http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=270738.
