FTP progress bar

[Vikram Singh]

Roger,

You should have two fields to actually enjoy the upload. Make one for
getting the command log (libUrlSetLogField log1) that will give something
like this..

220-=(<*>)=-.:. (( Welcome to PureFTPd 1.0.12 )) .:.-=(<*>)=-
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-Local time is now 22:54 and the load is 0.00. Server port: 21.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
331 User **** OK. Password required
230-User **** has group access to:  ****
230 OK. Current restricted directory is /
257 "/" is your current location
200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
227 Entering Passive Mode (12,23,122,13,86,195)
150 Accepted data connection
226-27545.2 Mbytes free disk space
226-File successfully transferred
226 2.908 seconds (measured here), 3.71 Kbytes per second

The other field (log) referred in your urlcallback message will show
"uploading,1322,6686" etc.  i.e. the url status.

>libUrlSetStatusCallback "urlCallback", (the long id of stack "geoFTP")

Also, does the message urlcallback exist in your stack script? It is being
referred to here..

Regards
Vikram
