FTP

[Jeff Honken]

I've never used FTP with Runrev but doesn't he have to have a FTP server
on his end to upload the files to?  He said that he'd created a
directory and can access it but can he access it with FTP? Just
wondering. I have to write an app here soon that uses FTP.  Jeff

Hi Marty,

It could be that you have to supply a filename and not
a directory in the uploadURL parameter.
I'd modify your handler to something like and see if
that works:
--
on dragdrop
  put empty into fld "LogData"
  --> you should only have to set the log field once
  libUrlSetLogField the long id of fld "LogData"
  put the dragdata into tFilePath
  if tFilePath is not empty then
    set the itemDelimiter to "/"
    put item -1 of tFilePath into tFileName
    put
"ftp://username:password@ftp.mydomain.com/drop/" & \
        tFileName into tUploadURL
    libURLftpUploadFile tFilePath, tUploadURL
  else beep
end dragdrop
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
