posted February 22, 2005 4:08 PM Hello, I have an FTPServer component in my VB.NET app with all of the default settings. When I Start() the FTPServer with a relative pathname, I get some funny business when trying to use the server, such as DIR returning nothing (not even . or ..), and MKDIR returning a "permission denied". Changing the Start() call to an absolute path fixes this issue. What do I do if I want to start the server from a relative path? Thanks, cstyves |

I would write a function that tries to determine the absolute path from a relative path, then once you have determined that, pass it to the FTP server. Here's a little VB function that will do it: Private Function GetAbsolutePath(ByVal RelativePath As String) As String Dim CurrentDirectory As String = Environment.CurrentDirectory Dim TempDirectory As String = "" Try ChDir(RelativePath) TempDirectory = Environment.CurrentDirectory ChDir(CurrentDirectory) Return TempDirectory Catch Return "" End Try End Function |
