Thanks to Andu. . .and his recommendation
to use Interarchy to watch the data stream I am slowly
making progress on FTP protocol with sockets
So far I can log in and get as far as requesting a port.
But then I hit this anamoly
when MC reads from the socket it
returns data previously sent a few lines before:
after sending:
write "PASV" & CRLF to socket Q
read from socket Q for 1 line
put cr & it after fld "log"
put it into tReply
put tReply
replace ")" with empty in tReply
set the itemDel to "("
put item 2 of tReply into n1
set itemDel to ","
put item 1 to 4 of n1 into tIP
replace "," with "." in tIP
Interarchy shows me that up to that point the server is saying:
Receive data (56 bytes) on stream 33.
>000003D0> 230-You are user #50 of 50 simultaneous users allowed.
Receive data (38 bytes) on stream 33.
>00000408> 230-
>0000040E> 230 Restricted user logged in.
Send data (6 bytes) on stream 33.
<000000CC< PASV
Receive data (52 bytes) on stream 33.
>0000042E> 227 Entering Passive Mode (204,94,112,135,202,112)
The last statement being the response from the server after
write "PASV" & CRLF to socket Q
But (see above script) on the next read from socket for 1 line
variable tReply contains:
>000003D0> 230-You are user #50 of 50 simultaneous users allowed.
And this is the 4th line back from the current server response. . .
so I am unable to parse out the server assigned port number.
Given my total lack of experience in sockets
this beyond my power to debug. Why doesn't MC return the last
server response?
Any insights?
