Subject: [DUG]: What is the best Freeware
FTP Components?
Hi,
I am trying
to find a decent free FTP Component. Basically I have a small app that uploads
pages to my web site through FTP, it sometimes needs to upload 1 page, or
maybe 100. I have tried 3 to date all with their own set of
problems.
1) Monster FTP VCL
0.4.6
Does not fire
events correctly, such as changing a directory into a non existant
directory.
2)
FastNet FTP (comes with D5) -
If you get a
failure (onFailure Event) you can not determine what the failure is other than
it failed while it did a particular task, you do not appear to be able to get
the error code such as 550 - Unable to create file, other than that it
appears to be ok, but no source code.
3) Some
other crap component.
All I want to do is this:
1) Logon to the FTP Site
2) Change a
directory
3) Create a
directory
4) Upload a
file
After all of these
actions I want to get a Success or Failure status, if a failure the REAL
reason why. I want the control to wait until the action has completed before
returning control to me as well.
Also all of the controls I have at some point do weird stuff,
such as returning error 500 or something meaning "command not understood". The
command returns to me as something like "5" when I sent maybe an upload file
command. It only appears to happen when IHUG is busy, but I have NEVER seen
this is any FTP program, whereas in my FTP application it happens often when
the Internet is busy, has anyone else experienced stuff like this?. The ftp
client is running on a Internet Connection Sharing Client. To me it sounds
like the server is sending this back since al the FTP components get this
problem.
