[twsocket] ICS FTP Client Strange Effect
I have an odd effect that I'm sure one of you clever guys will provide an answer to. I am using the FTP client to put a file on the a web site. The file format is of my own making and have no trouble reading and writing to files to/from the hard drive. Apart from the first 4 bytes in the file, the data is stored as Unicode. So in the case of English text every other byte is zero. Now when I putAsync the file and look at the result it has stored every carriage return with the two bytes in reverse order. So $0D, $00 is stored as $00, $0D. Line feeds and all the other text are stored correctly. Am I doing something wrong? The FTP component is as per the default settings.

Have you tried binary mode yet? -- Arno -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] ICS FTP Client Strange Effect
Just spotted that with Wireshark. Although Binary mode is set at design time I remember now that I have to set TypeBinaryAsync after the connection is made.

Yep, I and many others had to learn this lesson as well. I vote for Binary as the default mode. -- Arno -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

I vote for Binary as the default mode. Unfortunately, the standard says text mode has to be the default. -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be Embarcadero MVP http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
