I have a simple piece of code which connects to an FTP server (FTP->Login), changes the folder by setting Ftp->Directory, gets a file list (Ftp1->List) and disconnects from the server (Ftp->Logout).

If during this process I call the Ftp->Abort, it stops the connection or list and disconnects from the server. However, when I run the piece of code a second time it says it connects, but then eventually times out. The only way to connect to the server again is to terminate the application and re-start it.

I am using BCB4 and going through a proxy server (proxy+). I have noticed the problem can also occur when aborting Ftp->Retrieve, but not as repeatable.

The help says to use the close command rather than abort, but I can’t see a close method for the FTP tool.

Any ideas?

Abort is defined under the TCP section so that's what the reference to "Close" is. Close is the graceful way to close a TCP session. The equivalent in FTP would be "Logout".

When you get weird issues like this one, the first thing to do is to use the Trace method to create a log file and see what's going on.

The sample ListView app uses the Trace method so just look at that for example code.

Well, during site to site transfer for instance, if you send a ABOR command to the server, it should stop the transfer and return to idle. ABOR is not at all related to Close!
