posted March 22, 2004 8:17 AM As we upgraded from SCO OpenServer 5 5.0.5 to SCO OpenServer 5 5.0.6, our client VB 6 application cant't get files using Dart FTP Tool 1.0.39.0. Putting files is ok, but when the MGET command is executed, I get the error "550 not a plain file" (both, in binary or ascii mode). |

posted March 22, 2004 8:43 AM Sounds like SCO changed something. I'd contact them to see what changed in the latest version. They've probably had other people reporting the same problem. |

posted March 22, 2004 9:16 AM as I can see the FTP-Server changed from WU-FTP 2.1 to WU-FTP 2.6.2. I also tried out the workarounds given on the wu-ftp site - without luck. Thanx for your help Thomas |

posted March 22, 2004 9:25 AM I meant for you to contact SCO support and ask them what to do. If you can give me the account info, I can see what I can do from here. If you don't want to post it, please email it to support@dart.com. |

posted March 22, 2004 9:37 AM with the DOS FTP command and mget there is no problem to download. With IE and FTP also. It really seems to be a problem of the dart FTP control :-( |

posted March 22, 2004 10:07 AM I need the address of the Ftp server and the username and password. Once I have that I will try to upload and download a file and see what happens. |

posted March 22, 2004 10:13 AM Unfortunatelly this is not possible. The "FTP Server" is in our local LAN and only via ISDN (telephone and router) accessable. What other solutions do you have? |

posted March 22, 2004 10:22 AM You'll have to figure out what's changed. It's probably something to do with the home directory path. The error message means that the file was not found, so something in the path must have changed from one version of the server to the next. If you can't figure it out, please contact support@dart.com to discuss other support options. |

posted March 22, 2004 10:43 AM Nothing changed. The user has the same home directory on the new SCO machine as on the old SCO machine. When I logon via telnet (or with dart FTP) the home directory is set properly. In our application we automatically download from a subdirectory of the home directory (home: /ftp ; download: /ftp/username ; upload /ftp/username/upload). The file to download and directories have correct permission (777) and the upload works fine. Only the download from /ftp/username throws an error. Files are available and downloadable with every FTP client - only dart ftp can't manage it. I try to MGET the files with the dart-ftp command: Ftp1.MGet ftpRemote_Down & "*" & gl_vernr, ftpLocale_Down, TotalFiles, TotalErrors (ftpRemote_Down = "/ftp/username/") (gl_vernr = "51") --> so I download all files with wildcards from "/ftp/username/*51" (concrete filename like "/ftp/username/file51" also doesn't work - but there are files like *51, e.g. stkdat51 257 "/ftp" is current directory. 250 CWD command successful. 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,123,110,12,190) 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. 226 Transfer complete. 250 CWD command successful. 550 /ftp/username/: not a plain file. 221-You have transferred 0 bytes in 10 files. 221-Total traffic for this session was 2640 bytes in 11 transfers. 221-Thank you for using the FTP service on sco5. 221 Goodbye. |

posted March 22, 2004 10:54 AM Try replacing "/ftp/username/" with "~/" and see if that works. If it doesn't try "/ftp/username/~/" |

posted March 22, 2004 11:36 AM Sorry, but I had an error in my last posting: ftpRemote_Down = "username/" under SCO your it works with: ftp sco5 pwd: 257 /ftp is current directory mget ~/username/*51 When I use ~/username/ in our application, the dart ftp-control tries to get files in the correct path /ftp/username/ but can't find anything. Any other ideas? |

posted March 22, 2004 12:12 PM I'm sorry, but I can't understand your last post. Are you trying to say that something works? |
