Re: Strange Error - works in FTP client, but not FTPAPI

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

You are not using a command-line FTP. FTPAPI operates by calling 
procedures.  Therefore using command-line artifacts like quotes and 
supplying the password as a second argument doesn't make a lot of sense.

Please do something like this:

     xyz = ftp_open( 'yourgatewayaddress' );
     if (xyz = -1);
       // handle error
     endif;

     if ftp_login( xyz
                 : '7999999@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10259'
                 : 'PASSWORD' ) = -1;
        // handle error
     endif;

     ...etc...
