HELP! - Unable to acquire FTP file list...

[Keith (Gulf Breeze Ortho Lab)]

Hi Ken,

I played with active and passive modes, but that was not the issue. At least 
regarding the URL function, the problem was that I was not putting 
parentheses around my information:

put url "ftp://" & FTPUSER & ":" & FTPPASS & "@" & FTPHOST into myVar

should have been:

put url ("ftp://" & FTPUSER & ":" & FTPPASS & "@" & FTPHOST) into myVar

Also, while testing, I think my socket became locked... When playing around 
with FTP, I highly recommend using the resetAll command to make sure all 
sockets are clear before retesting...

Thanks for the help...

- Boo

Sounds to me like you're in active ftp mode...which is strange as
passive mode is the default.
Try:
libURLSetFTPMode "passive"

If that doesn't work, try
libURLSetFTPMode "active"

I've not played with FTP in LiveCode, but I'd bet that solves this one.
