Re: Problems with FTP

hi werner,

I do not know this product but it look like when you check a file type, if it is a directory, one internal field keep the trace of your check and let you at the sub directory level. (increase the level)

Perhaps the FTP_chdir use somthibng like a changedir ?

Subject: Problems with FTP_Get-API

Hallo All,

I use for a long time (since 2002) Scott Klement's FTP-APIs for file transmissions and I'm still enthused with this software.

Recently I discovered a problem, when I tried to process a directory wherein a subdirectory was located.

Here my example:

1. The directory "/testin" has 2 entries:

    pampr.tst             STMF
    templates             DIR

2. My application program code is (shortened):

    rc = FTP_List(fd:' ':99:%addr(incoming):num_files);      <--- List the directory entries

    For fileno = 1 to num_files;                                         <--- Loop for processinf the contents

    #File256 = %trimr(incoming(fileno));

    // Check if file name is a directory
    If FTP_Chdir(fd:%trimr(CJRMTPTH) + '/' + #File256) >= *zeros;
       Iter;
    EndIf;

    // Check if file matches generic name
    If CJGENNAM <> *blanks;
       If %scan('*':CJGENNAM) > *zeros;
          If pr$ChkGen(#File256:CJGENNAM) = *off;
             Iter;
          EndIf;
       Else;
          If #File256 <> CJGENNAM;
             Iter;
          EndIf;
       EndIf;
    EndIf;

    // Transfer upload file from remote system to iSeries
    If FTP_Get(fd:#File256:%trimr(CJLOCPTH) + '/' + #File256)
              < *zeros;
       r$FTPErrMsg = FTP_Error();
       #FTP0004_01 = r$FTPErrMsg;

3. The problem:

    In the first cycle of the FOR loop I get the subdirectory "templates". The file name in my work field #File256 is "templates/".

    The FTP_Chdir recognizes it as a directory and the ITER is processed correctly.

    The second cycle supplies the file name " pampr.tst" in my workfield #File256. This file should be processed with

    the FTP_Get API. My debugger realy shows only "pampr.tst" in field #File256 straight before the FTP_Get command

   line.

    After the FTP_Get was executed, I receive error:

    R$FTPERRMSG = ' Unable to find file /testin/templates/pampr.tst'.

   Why appears "templates" in the pathname?

    If there is no subdirectory in the directory everything works correctly.

    What did I miss? What I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions.

Kind regards,
