Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    FTP problem

    Hi,
    I am using the following:
    response = ftp_put_file("XX.XXX.XXX.XXX","user_name","password","C:\test.txt","c:\target.txt",.f.,"Sending file")
    ui_msg_box("",response)
    and getting an error which states:

    Could not get file C:\test.txt 0
    I am not sure what the 0 is for (from).
    What do I need to do to make the FTP work?

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Re: FTP problem

    hi jay,
    last week i had the same problem, the fix is simple see below

    ftp_put_file("xx.xx.xxx.xxx", "user", "password", "c:\logic\test.txt","/logic/test.txt")

    without the / before logic

    ftp_put_file("xx.xx.xxx.xxx", "user", "password", "c:\logic\test.txt","logic/test.txt")


    it is the //// not \\\\\ for the ftp folder

      Re: FTP problem

      Thanks for the quick response, Ken.
      I changed the script to read:

      response = ftp_put_file("XX.XXX.XXX.XXX","user_name","password","C:\test.txt","/target.txt",.f.,"Sending file")
      ui_msg_box("",response)
      but I am still getting the same error message. There is a file in the root directory of the C drive called test.txt, so I am not sure why this is not working.
      Any further thoughts?
      Thanks.

        Re: FTP problem

        ok search the forum with key word ftp
        you will see my same question this month

        i think your target folder should not have the drive letter?
        normally we do not address ftp with a letter, they are just folder.

        only your source has a drive letter?

          try just...

          response = ftp_put_file("XX.XXX.XXX.XXX","user_name","password","C:\test.txt","target.txt",.f.,"Sending file") without the slash

            Re: FTP problem

            Here is the sample code from the help file:
            Code:
            ftp_put_file("www.alphasoftware.com", "alpha5", "password", "c:\learningcenter.asp","/technical_documentation/learningcenter.asp")
            Notice that the uploaded file is saved in the technical_documentation folder and there is no mention of a drive letter.

            That is not to say there should not be one, if it not the default drive.

              It appears to be a permissions issue on my server. I will pursue this and leave a message here to close this thread out.
              Thanks for all of your help.

                I was able to get the ftp command to work as suggested by Ken. Thanks, Ken.
                I got valuable help from this Micro$oft article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323384
                on how to set up ftp for Windows Server 2003, which is what my GoDaddy server is using for an OS.
                Thanks again for all the help.
