RE: [twsocket] FTP client and windows service problem
Hi Arno, I did use any possible way that occurred to my mind to figure out what the problem is without any success. And as I said - it's working just fine when I am testing it from a standart windows application, but when I start the service it's crashing. What I was getting from the DIR command is that it couldn't save the file. I also tried generating a random file name for the directory listing and it didn't help either. Is there another way to capture the directory listing without saving it to a file? > I've downloaded a unit named ftpcommon.pas somewhere that helps parsing a lot, but I can't find the link at the moment:( If you can send me a copy ot this unit I would be eternally thankful to you :) Send it to @.net (not .com) Best Regards, Nikolay Simeonov -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Garrels Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 10:14 AM To: ICS support mailing Subject: Re: [twsocket] FTP client and windows service problem Nikolay Simeonov wrote: > Hello Francois, > > I'm writing a service and when I try to get the directory FTP1.Dir > returns false.

Re: [twsocket] FTP client and windows service problem
Maybe you have a file permission problem. Your service is logged under system account or another account. Check that it has the required permissions. > Also a side problem I'm having is: do you know of a simple way to parse the > results from the DIR command into a simple list of filenames, sizes, There is source code available at http://www.smatters.com/ics/.
