Hi,
This FTP deal is really screwing me over. When I exit out of a program that I made it does not log out of the FTP. As a result of this I am unable to save anything until the FTP session shorts out.

I have placed a:
ftp disconnect

inside my code and still nothing. The program usually stays open for 3-5 minutes while it tries to log out.

Again I am unable to save my work until it logs out. How do I properly make it log out. How many FTP Disconnects do I need in my code?

Get back to me
Nicolas

It's getting late here (1:20 am) and I'm falling asleep. If no-one has helped I'll have a look in the morning as I've got day off work.

1.
Are you FTP'ing to a pc on your network or a remote server over the net?

2.
What sort of FTP commands are you doing. sending, getting, etc.

3.
What FTP server is it and how do you know it has not logged out properly.

Boo!

Ok here are the answers to your questions:

1. I am logging into a FTP over the net (Netfirms FTP)

2. I am mainly sending and receiving files. Sometimes deleting

3. It is not logged out. It minimizes at the bottom and stays like that. I am unable to re-open the ftp with the same file.

Well maybe you can help because I am having no luck. Not a single other person knows how to do ftp so I am out of luck.

Later
Nicolas

I've tried everything and can not replicate your problem. Sorry!

I can ftp to my own pc, my work pc, my website

This is one of the tests I used which simply writes a list of files on remote server:

+ Code Snippet

ftp_address$="whatever"
ftp_user$="whatever"
ftp_password$="whatever"

ftp connect ftp_address$,ftp_user$,ftp_password$

if get ftp failure()=1
   print "Error Connecting"
   e$=get ftp error$()
   print "Error: "+e$
else
   ftp find first
   f$=get ftp file name$()
   print f$
   ftp find next
   while get ftp file type() > -1
      f$=get ftp file name$()
      print f$
      ftp find next
   endwhile
endif

ftp disconnect

wait key

It definately disconects from FTP site because I have access to FTP servers. DB program is not left in taskbar.

Have you upgraded to 5.1 as I know this fixes the problrm of FTP commands maximising and minimizing the window when connecting / disconnecting.

Boo!

I can't recreate the problem either.

Put
cls
print get ftp status()
wait key
at the end of the program, does it print a 1 or a 0.

I have a problem that programs run by the compiler don't exit, I have to kill them in task manager. Do you have the same problem with the ftp if you run the compiled exe by double clicking in explorer not by pressing f5 in the ide.

Start a msdos command window and run "netstat -a" is the connection still there?
