I have a script that uploads a file and then uploads a copy of the same file to a different directory. In 2.3.2 I wrote the socket myself (well, actually hacked from Andu's FTP client and dedicated to single site/file task) and used it completely, twice. This worked fine... one file is uploaded... feedback is channeled to a log field the user can watch...when the upload was complete, turn around, open a new socket and upload the archive file.
So, trying to do the same with the new URL command set I get this anomaly from the following script... first file is written, second file is opened, but no data is written to it. I know the second handler is correct, because if I run it separately by itself... from the message box...the file uploads and data is written properly... but in a "one two" sequence... no data is written in the second handler?? The behaviour is exactly the same in Metacard and Revolution (where, in the latter case, the "start using stack libURL" is not needed). Well, of course the immediate solution to the problem is to for me to simply use my own full socket scripts (which are a lot faster anyway than libURL.) But it would be good to have a solution for this, as, obviously, it is much easier to script a single FTP command line than write the entire socket, as I am looking for a general purpose solution where I only have to pass the user:pass:host:path to single command line in scripts. Also, there is zero feedback mechanism in the current libURL for an FTP upload... but of course that is being looked into already no doubt. ========== on upload start using stack "libURL" put "ftp://"&gUser&":"&gPass&"@"&; gHost&gPath&gFilename into gMachinePath put fld "ftext" into URL gMachinePath ## the above works fine if (gUser is "gurudeva") and (gFileName is "index.shtml" ) then uploadToArchives end upload on uploadToArchives start using stack "libURL" put line 3 of fld "fText" into tDate put word 6 of tDate into tDay delete last char of tDay if tDay is among the items of (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) then put "0" before tDay put word 5 of tDate &"_"& tDay&"_" &word 7 of tDate into tDateString put "archives/"&tDateString&"/index.shtml" into archiveFile put "ftp://"&gUser&":"&gPass&"@"&; gHost&gPath&archiveFile into gMachinePath put gMachinePath ##the above works fine if you run "uploadToArchives" from the message box ## but not in sequence from the "upload" handler above.
