Re: ftp_get to IFS



Sender: Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


After reading Scott's email, I'm wondering if I have the right version of ftpapi. I've debugged the program, setting several breakpoints, and here's where the issue is:

No, sorry... my fault. I was looking at a very old copy of FTPAPI (possibly 1.0!) I was looking in the wrong library by mistake. You're right, you need to look at the open() API in the OpnFile() subprocedure.


5499  *open the file to retrieve
5500                   eval      wwFD = OpnFile(wwLocal: 'W': p_write:
5501                                         p_close)
[SNIP]
After the OpnFile is done, wwFD is -1.

Yeah, that goes without saying that it's returning -1 (since that's the code for all possible failures) The question is what's the contents of the pathname at the time that the open() API (not OpnFile) is being called.


If you look deeper into the OpnFile() subproceudre, you'll find code like this:

c                   when      peRWflag='W'
c                   eval      wwFD = open(%addr(wwPath): wwWFflags:
c                                      DFT_MODE: wwNewCP)
c                   if        wwFD < 0
c                   callp     geterror(wwMsg)
c                   callp     SetError(FTP_OPNERR:wwMsg)
c                   return    -1
c                   endif
c                   eval      peRdWrProc = %paddr('IF_WRITE')
c                   eval      peClosProc = %paddr('IF_CLOSE')

What I want to know is what's the contents of the "wwPath" variable at the time that this open() API runs. I don't care about the contents of wwFD -- I already know that it'll be -1. I want to know what wwPath is.

I didn't see the code that Scott listed in his reply. Something tells me that he's going to yell and me, in a positive way of course, to install the latest version :-)

No, it was my fault, sorry about that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the FTPAPI mailing list.
