Hi,

With WS_FTP I found out that our Firewall uses the proxy type: 'USER RemoteID@FireID@RemoteHost'

I tried all FtpProxyTypeConstants included in the dart-ftp component but It doesn't seem to get through the firewall.

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks a lot,

Bas.

That would not be a supported mode. You could still accomplish the login with a little work though. You'd have to determine the exact sequence of commands to be sent.

I tracked down the sequence of commands and created a workaround that...WORKS :-) but I have to logon twice. Every first session fails and every second one succeeds.

The code I created is very simple:

Dim intCnnAttempt As Integer
  intCnnAttempt = 1
  Do While intCnnAttempt <= 2 And Ftp1.State <> tcpConnected
  On Error Resume Next
   Ftp1.Login Host, Username, Password
   intCnnAttempt = intCnnAttempt + 1
  Loop

and does the work but I don't understand why every first session fails and every second one succeeds.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks,

Bas.

You'd have to check the error code and description from the call to login to find out what the error is.

Hi Tony,

thanks for all you help. My ftp sessions are working fine now :-).

Hopefully you have time for one more question.
After I got all documents from the server with FTP mget, I would like to delete those files so I only (m)get the new documents and not the documents I already have.
Is this possible with ftp? I tried some things but it appears that the ftp-session locks the files because I can't delete them. Is this true?

Thanks in advance,

Bas.

Hi Bas,
What Ftp server are you retrieving from?
If it is IIS 4.0, please see the following thread:
