ftp.dll user pass problems

[joel2009]

I'm using the ftp library that comes with basic4ppc and i'm having problems with secure servers. If i log in anonymously i have no problems but if i try and hard code a user pass into the program i always get connection errors....

Can someone help me out with the code?

Right now this is what i am using:

ftp.Open("example.com","username","password")

Thanks for any help ahead of time


PS is there a way to force a file to be opened upon download?

Your code looks fine.

What do you mean with "force a file to be opened upon download"?

i'm building a client that can upload download to my ftp server, and upon download completion, i wan't the program to open the files upon download completion....


I'll upload my whole basic4ppc file when i get home so that someone can tell me what i am doing wrong


Thanks for the response erel

here is my file.

right now it is configured for ftpplanet like the help file had, when it is like that it works fine. I just have problems trying to log onto my secure ftp server that requires a user/pass loggin.

It looks like you can use agraham's threading library to call process.start("myfile.ext") to open the file with the associated application.

i got my ftp to connect, read my directory, and download... so i'm doing much better. thanks for the heads up on the library, i'll check it out.
