Hello, I need some help.
When I run this from the message box
put
("crosbystillsnash.com/content/TOURS/CSN2K4/_galleries/20040913_Pechanga/large/")
into thePath
put "user:password" into userpass
put "ftp://" & userpass & "@" & thePath into temp
put URL temp
put the result into tr
if tr is not empty
then
put "RESULT" && tr
end if
--- I get this error -
RESULT error 550
/content/TOURS/CSN2K4/_galleries/20040913_Pechanga/large: No such
file or directory
the URL is good; copied and pasted from a browser (this is my own site)
Am I specifying the URL incorrectly? Is there a better way ? I just
need a simple listing.
When I use it with URL http, I get html of course. Is the only way to
get an HTTP directory is by parsing the below?
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
