[twsocket] FTP high-level component
Hi there, I'm playing around with the TFtpXXX components, and for not to invent the wheel again, I'm looking for some kind of high-level component based on ICS. What I need to do is to replace some file copy operations within an application by FTP sending/receiving operations. What I'm dreaming of is a sending/copying component which accepts file name(s) and a target ftp server instead of a file path. The same applies for the opposite way, retrieving files from a ftp server. Like this (samples): CopyFileToFTP(LocalFile, FTPServer); CopyFileFromFTP(FTPServer, LocalFile); TIA for all hints.

Re: [twsocket] FTP high-level component
Hi Michael, Yes, this is really needed. I spent almost 3 days last week learning and getting the tftpcli control doing basically that. It's a big time waster imho. Especially compared to perl, which can do it with one line. Same is needed for smtp sending also.

TMagFTP which is at: http://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magxfer.asp Note this is not free source code, a lot of effort went into it's development and testing. DCUs are free, but you either have to license the source or support ICS-SSL development financially from where you can also download the source. > Like this (samples): > CopyFileToFTP(LocalFile, FTPServer); It's never that simple, FTP servers need logons that can fail, they have multiple directories, etc, but one of our functions is almost that simple: function FtpDownOneFile (const FdirSrc, Fnamesrc, Fnametar: string ; Replopt: TFileCopyRepl) : TTaskResult ; Angus -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] FTP high-level component
Angus, not a problem if one has to login (and such) previously. It's just important that the main transfer process is encapsulated into a few lines of code rather than a complex handling scheme. Also not a problem if it costs some money (however, I contributed to the SSL project but Francois didn't still list me due to a lack of time) - if you like, you can tell me in a pm what you'd like to get for the components for recompiling (= with sources included). Possibly a problem could be that it should be included in a D5 project which has to use legacy ICS sources. No chance at this time to advance to a higher Delphi version. Could this be problematic?

Pricing and order form is on my web site. But I'm sure Francois can fix up a logon easily. > Possibly a problem could be that it should be included in a D5 > project which has to use legacy ICS sources.

I don't support 'legacy' ICS source, only the latest V5 and V6 betas which have many improvements needed for proper FTP support. If you really need to support long obsoleted ICS code, you'll need to edit the TMagFtp source to remove functions needing newer versions. Likewise I've stopped backward testing with eight year old compilers, you can only go back so far, but it probably still works.

Re: [twsocket] FTP high-level component
Angus, I hope I'm not OT, but... your web site says: "Compatible with Delphi 5/6/7/2005/2006, tested with Windows 98, NT4, Windows 2000, XP and 2003. Files larger than 2 gigs needs Delphi 6 or later." Is this still true? I guess it would help a few other users here to know that there are such components available (for not being totally OT :)) Michael > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Angus Robertson - Magenta Systems Ltd > Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 2:21 PM > To: twsocket@elists.org > Subject: Re: [twsocket] FTP high-level component > > > > Also not a problem if it costs some money (however, I contributed > > to the SSL project but Francois didn't still list me due to a lack > > of time) - if you like, you can tell me in a pm what you'd like to > > get for the components for recompiling (= with sources included). > > Pricing and order form is on my web site.

Re: [twsocket] FTP high-level component
> "Compatible with Delphi 5/6/7/2005/2006 Maybe that should say 'probably compatible'. I've stopped providing DCUs for Delphi 5 so I'm no longer testing new versions with D5. I'm also stopping enhancing the ICS V5 version, now V6 is stable and working. If you want an old TMagFtp from a few years ago supporting an old ICS, I have all the archives, but there would be no support for it and finding one that matches a specific old ICS might be difficult. The bottom line is that if you want to use new components, you need to try and keep up. Having said that, I still use Delphi 7 for all my development, and almost all D7 components still work in D2006 since Borland stopped serious enhancement of object pascal with D7 when it decided that .net was the future of mankind.

You have your usercode/password for ICS-SSL. TMagFTP component is just in the file list below the ICS-SSL files. You can download it since you've got your login ! Contribute to the SSL Effort.
