B Buncher60 Member Licensed User Jul 11, 2018 #1 I cannot get the FTP JobDone to list the files in a FTP directory. The path is configured for FTP on the server. I am in the directory o.k. according to the log in FTP_ListCompleted and I know there is a file there but it does not show in the Files() array. The server is a Windows Server if that makes a difference. Any pointers to what the problem might be would be really appreciated.

B Buncher60 Member Licensed User Jul 11, 2018 #3 Thanks for your response sorex. I'll try what you've suggested but my very basic understanding of passive mode is that there would need to be a listening port no. returned. There doesn't seem to be a property or method to do that. Maybe it might be handled internally. In any case I'll let you know for future reference. Upvote 0
