Hi Folks,
Does anybody here use the FTPEXIT EXEC to evaluate and/or modify FTP
commands?
I've got an FTPS client that sends redundant PROT P commands, after the
data channel has already been protected. I wrote a piece of code to
check for this condition and change any redundant PROT P commands to
NOOP:
Select
When (subcmd = 'PROT') Then Do /*Evaluate PROT P duplicate..*/
If Strip(Cmd_Args)='P' & Data_Secure='2' Then Do
RetMsg ='FTPEXIT: PROT P requested but Data channel',
'already secure - request ignored.'
Return_Code=0 /*Have FTP process our RETSTRING*/
RetString='NOOP' /*Change command to be a NOOP*/
If (debug?) Then Say RetMsg
Signal FTPX_Return
End
End
Otherwise Nop
End /* Select */
I know this code is executing because I see my FTPEXIT: RetMsg on the
console, but the FTP Server is ignoring my RETSTRING (NOOP) and still
attempting to execute PROT P.
What am I doing wrong here? Should I be using a RETURN_CODE other than
0 to indicate that FTP should evaluate my RETSTRING?
I'm confused.............. :(
