posted March 12, 2004 4:42 PM PB6.5: Using the Get method to download a zip file, if I specify a directory\filename the file saves but does not unzip. If I specify only a directory I get a file i/o error. How do I get the file to download, then unzip? ftp.object.type = 3 (ftpzip) ftp.object.get('ftp://ftpaddress/filename','c:\localdirectory\localfilename') ----File gets downloaded but not unzipped. ftp.object.type = 3 (ftpzip) ftp.object.get('ftp://ftpaddress/filename','c:\localdirectory\') (with or without the slash) gets a file i/o error. |

posted March 12, 2004 4:46 PM Just tried leaving the local directory/file blank so it unzips to the working directory - and it just downloads the file but does not unzip. |

posted March 12, 2004 5:04 PM I just tried the sample listview app and it worked. What happens when you try it? |

posted March 12, 2004 5:12 PM Like I said, the file downloads but does not unzip when I specify a directory/filename OR leave the entire argument blank and let it download to the working directory and I get a file I/O error when specify a directory but no filename. |

posted March 12, 2004 5:20 PM So you're saying that you used the sample, without changing it, and it didn't work? If so, I don't know why. It works for me. Please verify that you are not changing anything in the sample app and it still doesn't work. Just to clarify, here is what I did: 1) Ran the app contained in ftp.pbl 2) Logged in to an account that contained a file called "testfile.zip" 3) Double-Clicked "testfile.zip" 4) Selected the folder "c:\test" 5) Clicked "Zip" then hit "Retrieve" 6) When done there was a folder called "testfile.zip" that contained the unzipped files. |

posted March 12, 2004 5:28 PM Sorry, misunderstanding here, I'm not using the sample app. I've created a window with the ftp tool on it and I'm calling the "Get" method, not Retrieve like the sample app does. All I want to do is Log in, download the file, log out and unzip the file and the help says that I can do this with one line. ftpcontrol.object.type = 3 (ftpzip) Get(ftp://user:pass@ftpaddress/filename,c:\localdirectory) |
