I asked the following question to several individuals, but they did not
know the answer...
/ I have my "little" ftp application working, but I have a question... //
////
// If FtpTrace() is on, is there a way to suppress the messages to
the screen? //
////
// In my app, I would like to ONLY display the trace messages if the
actual file transfer failed, which I can detect with the returncode from
FtpPut() //
////
// Any help would be greatly appreciated. //
///
So my question (slightly restated) is...
Apparently the FTPtrace function works differently then one might expect...
It does not work like "TRACE ON / TRACE N" but instead, once turned on
with "~FtpTrace()" the FTP methods appear to save the "trace" results
in an internal array and then displays those results when
"~FtpTraceLogoff()" is issued (ala, after everything has completed.)
Not really sure what actually triggers the trace display, but it appears
to be the FtpTraceoff() method.
From my point of view, while the FTP "addon" works extremely well, it
it seems to be missing the ability to suppress the trace results - other
than just not requesting the information to be saved in the first place.
In my case, the FTP functionality is buried deep inside a relatively
complex application, and it is not easy to re-run the application with
an additional option to turn FtpTrace on to see why a failure might have
occurred. (and with my luck, problems can be intermittent!)
I can find nothing documented to indicate that there is a way to
redirect the saved trace into a datafile, or to delete any previously
saved text (i.e. suppress the trace output)
...
(1) if you do not turn FtpTrace on, then you cannot display what went
wrong with one or more ftp requests...
(2) If you DO turn FtpTrace on, then you cannot suppress any of the
trace previously saved - (which you might not need if the FTP request
was successful) and your application output is cluttered with a lot of
unneeded FTP trace information.
oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.netIf you turn FtpTrace on, then when
EVERYTHING has COMPLETED, the trace results are displayed ...
...and they include all of the "ftp commands", and one or more lines of
results from each command.
Anybody have any suggestion?
