posted August 19, 2004 6:16 AM Hello Friends, I am using the FTP activex tool and I am wanting to see if a directory exists before I upload a file. I am not using a GUI. I have been using the List property just fine and getting positive results but I am wondering if there is a more "direct" approach without having to enumerate though all the files and dirs first before discovering there is or is not a directory I need. Thanks for any help. :) |

posted July 25, 2006 4:57 PM This is exactly what I tried to do. I'm using Secure FTP for .NET, and I'm brand new to your product so please excuse a newbie question. When I call GetDirectory() I get "the requested address is not valid in its context". I suspect I'm not logged in. If I do a put first, it works. How do I get it to connect so I can do operations such as GetDirectory(), without first calling get or put (barring using RawConnect). p.s. The product is working great for everything else. I'm wrapping the component in c# and exposing it via interop for use in a legacy VB6 app, until the legacy app can be replaced with a dot net version. |

posted July 31, 2006 9:09 AM It was just a dumb mistake. In my other operations, adapted from the samples, I called a function like SetProperties() to set the control's server, host, etc. I forgot to do that before calling GetDirectory, so of course it couldn't connect. |
