I'm sure this problem is simple to solve but I am tearing my hair out trying
to solve it.
Imagine I have an FTP site that contains a folder called Test1. In this
folder I have a file called abc.dat and another folder just called abc.
So I log on to the FTP site and change the directory
Now I change the working directory to Test1/abc. I check with
Now I change the working directory to Test1/abc. PwdAsync that
it is correct and it responds with what I could expect.
Next I try and do a directory listing on this folder. The response
indicates no error, but the stream is of
I may well end up using your components, but in the meantime I need to
determine what my problem is here.
I use DirAsync to get the directory listing. If I set the directory to Test1
and do a DirAsync, I get all the files and folder names. Now If I set the
CWD to one of these sub folders and do a

to determine what my problem is here.
The component includes an EXE demo, use that against the FTP server and
the same root directory specifying get subdirs, and watch the FTP
commands and responses the component uses to parse
I know there are files in the sub folder as I can see them
with Windows Explorer.
Which does not have any FTP functionality, so is this a local FTP server?
You can browse FTP servers with Windows Explorer, you just need to
type the address in the address bar.
Ex.: ftp://usern...@ftpserver.com
I used the demo program from your website in conjunction with Wireshark to
monitor what was going on in network land. I then tried my program and the
problem was obvious. I knew it would be simple. After doing the GetAsync I
had not cleared the HostFilename parameter. So the DirAsync still had
I had not cleared the HostFilename parameter. So the DirAsync still
had this as a parameter.
This is deliberate, the FTP command 'LIST directory' is valid, but not
totally reliable with all FTP servers, it can save a lot of path commands.
'LIST filename' is also how to check if a specific file
Thank you. You have been very helpful.
