I'm not sure, but the code I posted up seems to work?
I had an issue where, basically, a CWD command would fail when changing
between directories that are 3 or 4 layers deep. For some reason the code I
posted works most of the time (don't ask me why), but like I said it still
occasionally fails.
Just to clarify, these are directories that I KNOW exist - I'm doing a
recursive download from an FTP site. How would you recommend I recover from
a failed CWD command?
Cheers

Rick,
if CWD fails, why do you expect it could work if you just try it again?

Hi,
I've been having some issues with FTPClient where sometimes, on some
servers, it would fail to change the working directory (thanks to whoever
pointed that out btw)
I've been trying to change the code to test for this and I thought I had it
cracked, but its still not quite right.
This is the code which seems to work best so far, but it still occasionally
fails:
if not(Cwd) then
begin
Quit;
Connect;
HostDirName := SubDir;
Cwd;
end;
This is part of a function which retrieves a file listing, which is then
passed onto another function which attempts to download each file. I also
tried the following code, which I thought made more sense:
if not(Cwd) then
begin
Quit;
HostDirName := SubDir;
if not(Connect) then exit;
end;
With the intention being that if after 2 attempts you still can't get a file
listing, just skip it. Unfortunately this seemed to make it go completely
mental so it must be doing something odd.
Any suggestions please?
Cheers
Rick
