I'm using the newest version of Db pro and having a problem with the "ftp put file" command. Seems either something is wrong with this command or possibly its my ftp server. I used the example that Dark Basic Pro comes with and it connected correctly but failed to upload the file onto the ftp.

I also had this problem while trying to write my own ftp program. Seems that the get file works correctly but put doesn't. Is it a bug or is a problem with my server?

Thanks,
Mason

[Edit] To test this bug yourself, just use the Dark Basic Ftp usage example using your own ftp server. [/edit]

Huh? I'm not sure what you mean by that. I use smart ftp and I access my ftp server without any problems. Whats the difference if I try to do it using Dark Basic Pro? I don't think I understand you.

It does work but the trick is you have to use SET DIR to tell it where your file is for uploading and then just use filename in FTP PUT FILE. You can't use path in FTP PUT FILE.

+ Code Snippet

sync on : sync rate 0
print "Connecting..." : sync
ftp connect "serveraddress","username","password"
if get ftp failure()=0
   if get ftp status() = 1
      set dir "c:\test"
      ftp put file "ftptest.txt"
      if get ftp failure()=1
         print "Failed to Upload File"
      else
         print "File Uploaded OK"
      endif
   endif
else
   print "Can't Connect" : sync
endif

ftp disconnect
wait key

Boo!

oh, i thought you said you were running the server on your computer, because i have optimum online and i just found out that you are not allowed to run a server from a home line.
