FTP Help Please
I have searched the archives - but obviously not well enough - for a stack or help in using FTP from a stack. Does anyone know of a stack out there that I could tear apart (which is how I learn best) and learn the following: How to connect to an FTP server. (I have one on driveHQ) How to upload a text file or image to that server. How to download a different text file or image from that server. Many, many thanks in advance.

(I have one on driveHQ) You're about to have a very good time. :) Explicit connection isn't needed - libURL handles that for you whenever you use one of its file transfer commands. How to upload a text file or image to that server. put url (file: tMyLocalFile) into url tMyServerUrl Where tMyServerUrl is in the standard format for including protocol, login, and password, e.g: ftp://user:passw...@ftp.domain.com/folder/filename.txt How to download a different text file or image from that server. Same thing but in reverse: put url tMyServerUrl into url (file: tMyLocalFile) Yep, thanks to Dave Cragg and the others who've worked on Rev's libURL, it's that easy. :) There's a lot more libURL can do too, including providing callbacks to let you know when a file is done transferring so you can take further action, or providing status updates during the transfer so you can use a progress bar. But for small text files you probably won't need a progress bar because they'll transfer so fast. Just check the result after each libURL call to see if anything went wrong, and take appropriate action from there: put url tMyServerUrl into url (file: tMyLocalFile) if the result is not empty then answer An error occurred while downloading: the result exit to top end if Complete docs and other helpful notes on libURL are in the RevTalk Dictionary and here: http://www.lacscentre.com/liburl/liburldoc.html -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Rev training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com revJournal blog: http://revjournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi Jack, http://www.canelasoftware.com/pub/rev/FTP.rev.gz You can also get it from RevNet (CS FTP) which is managed by Richard Gaskin. There you will find a bunch of other helpful stacks. -Mark On Mar 13, 2010, at 7:03 AM, JACK RARICK wrote: I have searched the archives - but obviously not well enough - for a stack or help in using FTP from a stack.
