posted April 14, 2003 10:56 AM Site I need to connect to requires me to login into a specific subfolder. If I simply login and try to make the subfolder the current directory an error occurs because I do not have permissions to do that at that level. I can duplicate this behavior using ws_ftppro. In wsftppro specifying the startup folder solves this. However, there is no way to do that using Power FTP -- that I can find. for example: specifying "ftp.candid.com/promxml/11044" producec an error in the ftp login. specifying "ftp.candid.com" in the login is sucessful. But then attempting to make "promxml/11044" the current directory produces an error. This is same in ws_ftppro. Specifying "/promxml/11044" as the start-up folder in ws-ftppro works. |

posted April 15, 2003 11:01 AM Hi, Can you provide a test account to this server, so we can see what is going on? Or, can you give us a log of the session (the working commands and responses exchanged) between Ws_Ftp and the server? Thanks, -ken |

posted April 15, 2003 12:09 PM Hi, Thanks for the account info. Using the Ftp ListView sample, I was able to login and CWD into this directory without a problem, by setting the Path field to "/promxml/11044". What I was not able to do was CWD directly into the "/promxml" directory. So just make sure you set the Ftp.Directory to this subfolder, and you should be ok. -ken |

posted April 15, 2003 12:27 PM That is not my option. This is the FTP site for a large firm that processes millions of orders. They are not going to change their FTP site for me. The FTP tool needs to handle a start-up option. |

posted April 15, 2003 12:40 PM Hi, I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood my post. The server does not have to change at all. To login, simply do: Ftp1.Login "ftp.candid.com", USER, PASS Ftp1.Directory = "promxml/11044" -ken |
