Xceed FTP Library

Aborting a transfer sometimes hangs the ActiveX

Alex — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 21:27:53 GMT

Hello,

We're using the library for a little upload utility in our software as well as the basis for a full FTP client. In both cases we have big issues aborting transfers. This does not happen every time, but it's pretty frequent that when setting the "Abort" property of the ActiveX, the "SendFile" function will just hang and never return.

Once this happens, we pretty much can't do anything other than close the app and restart... Sometimes, setting "Abort" to true several times will make it unlock, but most of the time it has no effect. If we call anything on the ActiveX at this point we get an exception that says the ActiveX is already performing a call.

Any idea? I just downloaded the latest update for the ActiveX version and the issue is the same.

FTP Transfer using ASCII

Phil — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 14:56:07 GMT

How can I force transfer to use ASCII and not BINARY?

This product is not licensed to perform this operation

Mitt — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:07:08 GMT

Hello -

I have an ancient VB6 program that apparently uses some XceedFTP library, I have to make changes to it that are completely unrelated to FTP at all, however, when I put the new .exe on the user's computer everything else works except when it gets to the call to the XceedFTP library it errors out saying "This product is not licensed to perform this operation". However, the old .exe works fine even though there were no changes to the code that concerns FTPing stuff, the calls are exactly the same.

I believe that somehow the old .exe is registered or something or XceedFTP library needs some key from the registry or something. I am not the original writer of this code and he is long gone to ask what I need to do to get the my new .exe to be allowed to call the XceedFTP .dll

Thanks

2147213300->The data transfer has been aborted by the FTP server

mermaiderya — Wed, 28 May 2008 11:29:44 GMT

hello

i have a program which is written with VB6

i used xceed ftp to send a file from a file on pc to an as400 file

it was working well..

but now when some files are sending i get this error 2147213300->The data transfer has been aborted by the FTP server.
(the file append as400 but i think i can't get 'sent' message with xceed) and then get this error..

the files are similar, sent and not sent

only different :

sent files' size: 8.750, 15.230, etc..

error files' size: 8.753, 18.539 ..etc

thirth digit is not zero. when i set the size of error file 8.750, 18.530, the file sent without problem.

what can be the problem?

why is that error?

FtpClient.Connect on Windows Vista

Johnny — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:45:27 GMT

Hello Xceed

I am using the Ftp library version 4.0 (Demo) and get this error when trying to connect to ftp server.

"An invalid AsyncResult was received while executing a command."

My code is:

ftp.Connect(strHost, 21) - where the strHost is ftp://www.xxxxxx.xx

The same code works fine on a Windows XP machine.

Kind regards

Invalid GET Command from Ftp 1.1 Active X, can anyone help?

William — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 15:40:10 GMT

Hi all. Trying to get a file, and I get an error, the FTP server did not accept and FTP command for an unexpected reason.

I've logged in, and am trying to get a file.

Here's a brief transaction snapshot of my using FTP command line in Win XP Pro.

ANY HELP Why this is not working would be appreciated. I'm thinking its in what xceedFTP is sending, and expecting back where the problem is...

(picking up after my login)

331 User name okay, need password.
Password:
230 Login accepted. (Login Fine)

ftp> get MSPIST (what I type to get the file named MSPIST )

(Result replies below from Device)

200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening data connection.

(pause while file is downloading - Then the following response upon completion)

226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 18972 bytes received in 2.34Seconds 8.09Kbytes/sec.

ftp> delete MSPIST (I delete the file on the machine)

(response)
250 DELE command successful.

ftp> close (then I close the connection)

(response)
221 Goodbye.

Limit of resume transfer

Canestrier — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:29:16 GMT

Hello,

Two questions :

1) about the SendFile method. As i have see, one parameter is :

long lLocalOffset (to restart after a transfer was stopped).

As I have understand, "long" in active X is a 32-bit signed, so Is it possible to resume a transfer of 80 GO from 75 GO (for exemple), or is there a limit after it was not possible to resume a transfer.

2) If the answer of question 1 is Yes there is a limit, what the solution to break it (use other kind of library, ....) .

Thank for your answers

Vincent

async transfer VBS

Canestrier — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:32:39 GMT

hello,

a question about asynchronous transfert. I see it was possible to put BackgroundProcessing = true to transfer file in asynchronous mode.

so after the SendFile the code continue.

My question is how is it possible to catch the events link to the transfer running with VBS or ASP

Thank for your help

Formless use of FTP control, error in example

LeisureTime — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 22:10:17 GMT

I use the FTP control on one of my VB6 forms fine. I am now trying to use it from a VB6 class. I copied the example code from this URL:

http://doc.xceedsoft.com/products/XceedFtp/

...but get an error 'Invalid use of New keyword' on this line:

Set XceedFtp1 = New XceedFtp

I should note that I had to move this line to the Declarations area due to another error message:

Dim WithEvents XceedFtp1 As XceedFtp

so it now reads:

Private WithEvents XceedFtp1 As XceedFtp

Thanks for any help!

Edited to say if I take out the New keyword I get this message:

Variable not defined (XceedFtp).

However, if I go to Project / References I have 'Xceed FTP Library v1.1' checked, and I am using the control on a form elsewhere in the same program without incident.

ReceiveFile Method in VFP

lworthin — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:31:49 GMT

Greetings,

I've been handed a project that uses v 1.1 of the XceedFTP control. When our program executes the ReceiveFile method, it checks to see if the CurrentState = 2 before it proceeds. The problem is that CurrentState returns to 2 sometime after ReceiveFile fires (I cannot tell if it ever leaves CurrentState 2 because it happens so quickly), but nothing is ever transmitted. This happens most of the time. About 10% of the time, it seems to execute correctly.

Can anyone tell me what the issue might be?

Thanks in advance.

Runtime error

jack — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 15:37:48 GMT

I am trying to use ftp library with VB6 to receive a file from Mainframe. If file exists on Mainframe it works fine. If it doesn't exists it triggers runtime error even if I have on error statement. What am I doing wrong? Here is a test code:

On Error GoTo LocalError


xFTP.ServerAddress = "1.1.1.1"
xFTP.ServerPort = "21"
xFTP.UserName = "user"
xFTP.Password = "pass"

xFTP.Connect

GetFolderContents error

casper000ca — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 13:43:55 GMT

I am using the Xceed Library 1.1. component in C# .Net 2003. The GetFolderContents works perfect when the files on the FTP folder is less then 200. When the files accumlated up to 300 or above, it will generate an error of "The remote file could not be opened by the FTP server."

Here is my two lines of codes

XceedFtpLib.XceedFtp ftpServer = new XceedFtpLib.XceedFtpClass();
object folderItems = ftpServer.GetFolderContents( "*.*.done", XceedFtpLib.EXFContentsFormat.fcfCollection );

Is it a bug of the component or what is wrong here?

many thanks

App hangs when calling SendMemoryFileData

joe700 — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:46:29 GMT

My app is written in C++ and the version of the XceedFtp.dll is 1.1.6461.

I'm sending the file via SendMemoryFileData() since I need to limit the bandwidth. When the internet connection is up everything works fine. I wanted to simulate what would happen if the internet connection goes down as the file is being sent. This is a realistic scenario when this app is deployed since the connection will be over a satellite link that sometimes goes down. Anyway, I set a breakpoint on SendMemoryFileData() and disconnected the ethernet cable. When I continued running the app it just hung. The call to SendMemoryFileData() never returned.

As a side note, I have event handlers in place. If I set a breakpoint on raw_Disconnected() the breakpoint gets hit and SendMemoryFileData() returns (therefore not hanging the app). I don't know if this is of any value but I just thought I would mention it.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

FTP through HTTP proxy server

Remmie — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 14:33:52 GMT

Does XCeed FTP ( Active X ) allow you to ftp through a HTTP proxy server? I have been looking at the firewall settings, but I'm not sure it this is the same thing.

BACKGROUND: I'm trying to develope an application for the Kentucky school system, and they would like all FTP activity to go through there HTTP proxy servers.

0x8004200F : The FTP server did not accept a FTP command

seb — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 08:53:19 GMT

Hi there,

I've been using Xceed FTP ActiveX for quite a while with success now, but from times to times I encounter a weird behaviour :
I have an application that periodically logs to a FTP server, sends a file, closes the connection, releases the object. Everything is fine, *most* of the uploads work. Sometimes though, I suddenly get error 0x8004200F : The FTP server did not accept a FTP command.

How is it that suddenly some FTP command is not accepted anymore, when obviously everything was fine a short time ago (and will be fine again a short time later) ?

The FTP server is the one that comes with IIS 6, running on Windows Server 2003 Standard SP1.

Do you have any knowledge of miscommunications with that FTP server ?

For the moment I activated some more logging (client and server) in order to get more informations, and will let you know if I get some. Meanwhile, if you have any idea of the problem and could help me, that would be great

Thanks
Sebastien

FTP Server Time Vs Workstation Time

nelsonsoft — Mon, 01 May 2006 22:08:38 GMT

When I send a file it timestamps the file with the FTP server. So when I go back in and check the age of a file from my workstation it appears 3 hours older than it is. Is there a way with the controls to establish the time difference between the workstation and the FTP server so that you can establish the actual date of the file that was uploaded. I'm trying to establish how old a file is by hours not days so the time does make a difference.
Thanks,
Gil

Not connected if client is running on Windows XP Pro SP2

AlexanderPavluk — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 17:02:29 GMT

When client tries to connect to FTP server, the server is sending the response "Ready". Client sends request "USER name" and server responses "User name okay, need password", but client doesn't send request containing password. As a sniffer showed all server's respondes were recived by client. We need fixed library for this problem.

download folder

Chris — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 19:35:58 GMT

is there a way to just download the entire folder from the ftp site, instead of having to traverse the directories, to get to the files, and recreate the directory structure on a local machine?. I am connecting to an ftp server, and using the listfoldercontents method to get the list of folders i want to download. The folder can contain multiple subdirectories, and the structure can vary. I want to download the root folder, and have all the subdirectories and files with it get downloaded as well.

Example:

/root folder on ftp site
/test folder within the root

The test folder contains multiple subdirectories, and file.

I tried just using the receivefile method, along with the folder name but that doesnt work. Any help would be appreciated.

Does someone know a solution for this problem?

Blocking problem.

Pinosoft — Thu, 29 Jul 2004 09:21:03 GMT

Hi !

i have a problem with this DLL (trial version at the moment).

Sometimes , during execution of "ReceiveFile" and "Connect" method, my application stops to work...

In the first case, executing the debug through VB6, the cursor remain blocked on the "receivefile" call ... but the file it does not come received.

In the second, it seems that application remains in wait to connect to the FTP Server but no error message comes generated.

The "Abort" method don't work..

Have you some suggestions?

Thanks !! (and sorry for my poor english)

SendCommand max len of 4 chars?

ymanzanilla — Thu, 01 Sep 2005 18:38:07 GMT

I would like to send the following command to the ftp server:

quote rcmd CLRPFM FILE(QS36F/AFFEDI) MBR(SHELL)

Which will enable us to run a custom application and do some cleanup. I receive the following error message:

The FTP server did not accept a FTP command for an unexpected reason

The log file registers as follows:

< 220-QTCP at AFUSA1.
< 220 Connection will close if idle more than 5 minutes.
> USER XXXX
< 331 Enter password.
> PASS xxxx
< 230 XXXX logged on.

> PWD
< 257 "QS36F" is current library.
> quote rcmd CLRPFM FILE(QS36F/AFFEDI) MBR(SHELL)
< 500 Subcommand QUOT not valid.

is the SendCommand method using a maximum of 4 characters? is there a way to get around this issue?

I have tested the command in windows command prompt and unix: it works great there. Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Check if file exists?

How do I check if a file exists before I attempt to delete it using the XCeed FTP Control?

Is it necessary?

If File X exists I want to delete it.

If I call

XFTP.DeleteFile("File X")

and the file does not exist will I get an error?

Maybe someone can provide an example, for a better way identifying a Folder / File instead of using an Selected.ImageIndex of...

providing a certificate...two way SSL

Kenneth — Sat, 23 Jul 2005 20:25:11 GMT

Does anyone have any sample code of a certificate from the client to the server? I just cant figure it out.

The only xceed samples I can find on SSL have this in them

// In this example, we will not provide the server with a client

Also, is there any planned support for SSH?

spaces in filename

dsa1971 — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 21:49:38 GMT

using the getFolderContents method when I pass it a filename like "MY FILE.DOC" it gives me a "The remote file could not be opened by the ftp server." message. I assume because it can't handle the space in the filename. I wanted to avoid passing "*.DOC" to get a whole list of files to search through for the file I was looking for mainly because I wanted to make things as fast as possible. Is there a way to fix this?

Is this an Xceed FTP Library or is this a setting on the ftp server that can be changed?

Disconnecting hangs

David — Thu, 29 Jul 2004 21:08:54 GMT

I have a simple app that provides online updates to our software customers by FTPing the file from our website.

At one site (out of 400+ sites) the control will connect to the site OK, retrieve the small file which contains the latest version number, but then will not complete the DISCONNECT command.

The disconnect does not occur and the DISCONNECT event never fires. What would make a site be unable to disconnect? I know that they are using a CISCO router, the other 399 sites just have "normal" cheap routers.

And what is the best way to timeout or force the disconnect to happen?

Problems with Windows 2003 server

jaryr — Tue, 25 Jan 2005 14:18:04 GMT

We are using 2 windows 2003 servers (Production & Development, both rentals). I developed a VB 6.0 program which uses XceedFTP library 1.1 (version 1.1.127.0) to download files from our client FTP server. After deploying my program on both servers all works very nice on Development server but it fails on production. It connects to the client FTP server successfully, but as soon as I request LIST of files it hangs for minte or two and then gives me this error:

220-FTPSERVE IBM VM V2R4 at XXX.XXXXXXXX.XXX, 22:41:56 EST MONDAY 01/24/05
220 Connection will close if idle for more than 5 minutes.
USER XXXXXXXX
331 Send password please.
PASS xxxxxx
230 AISDATA logged in; working directory = AISDATA 191
PWD
257 "AISDATA.191" is working directory
Successfully connected to: XXX.XXXXXXXX.XXX
TYPE A
200 Representation type is ASCII.
PORT 192,168,0,2,5,22
An error occured while receiving a reply line from the FTP server.

I know this has nothing to do with XceedFTP Library component, the problem is with settings on our Production server. At this point I have no idea were to look in order to fix the problem so if anybody has any suggestions/advice please let me now.

Thanks a lot.

SSL File Transfer Problem

Gator1726 — Fri, 19 Nov 2004 16:33:38 GMT

When I try to transfer a file with no authentication it works great. When I try to send the file with TLS Auth I login and get a Cannot OPen Data Connection error.

----------------------------------
This is my auth call:

m_AsyncFtpClient.BeginAuthenticate( _
AuthenticationMethod.Tls, VerificationFlags.None, Nothing, DataChannelProtection.Private, _
New AsyncCallback(AddressOf Me.AuthenticateCompleted), Nothing)

I can run the sample client ftp app provided and transfer files using TLS Auth. Is there something that the sample does behind the scenes that I missed between login and transferring files that needs to be done on a secure connection vs. a non-secure connection? Again all works fine on non secure transfer.

Thanks for any help,
BARRY

"The remote file could not be opened by the FTP server."

Jonjon — Thu, 29 Jul 2004 04:28:45 GMT

Hi!

I'm creating an application using XceedFtp Library that connects to the FTP server,access its folders and download one or more of its files. But, the problem is, I got this error message saying:

"The remote file could not be opened by the FTP server." .

Here's the scenario, I'm done with the application and I'm on my way to test it.
Let's start, connecting to the FTP Server is much faster than the other component that I used before. Then I try to download one of the files residing on the server, I downloaded it smoothly and faster. But that was the first time I've tried to download a single file. I tried it again for the second time, it works fine. But, for the 7th time I tried to download a file, I got the above said ftp error.

What was the possible mistake that I've done that caused in raising this kind of error?
If I do downloaded the files for 6 times but how & why I have this kind of error every 7th time of downloading the file?

Note: I'm trying to download 7 different files that resides on the same folder. But only 6 of them were successfully downloaded and 7th file do have an error.

I've checked these files on the server, and all of them are there.

What could be the problem?

Thanks.

Timeout for send file

kogor01 — Fri, 07 May 2004 11:05:44 GMT

HI! I need some help I think, to decide will I use Xceed Ftp Library for my project or won't. I downloaded trial version Xceed FTP Library and wrote simple application on Delphi7. This is a multithreaded application and I create xFtp instances dynamically. There is no problems except the one. I use Serv-U server as FTP Server on standalone machine. The FTP user has limit by upload speed 2Kb. (I have to check ftp-client's ability works on bad and slow channels) When I upload file on server I get the error "An error occured while receiving a reply line from the FTP server" after about 90 seconds, but I can see that the file continues to upload on server, though my programm has handled an exception and is ready to do the next command. What I do wrong? Is this possible to control timeout period?

Thank you in advance!

Dial Up?

RDC — Thu, 18 Sep 2003 15:08:36 GMT

Does anyone know if a VB application tries to make a FTP connection and the user has Dialup Internet service will their PC automatically dial out? Or will the VB app have to make the PC dial out?

The reason I ask is that we currently have an application that is using WININET.DLL to do all our FTP routines. There was code that would check to see if you were connected to the internet .. if you are not it dials out or uses your network connection.

Since we have the XCeed Foundation Suite now I would like to switch to those tools.
I am just wondering if I replace all the FTP code to use the XCeed FTP control if I need to check for their internet connection. Doesn't the user set that up in their connection properties?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Shan

Need some general advice about must common errors

bakzip — Sat, 14 Feb 2004 19:37:42 GMT

Hi,

We're about to start implementing on our application the FTP Library.

Which in your experience are the must common errors found when using the Library.

We've been reading some bibliography about the FTP philosophy (general documentation).

- I think we must take in mind the technology (OS) on the server, for example.
- The Client DTP. That is the client data transfer process responsible for communicating with the server data transfer process and the local file system, for example.
- The server DTP. The server data transfer process responsible for communicating with the client data transfer process and the remote file system, for example.
- The User Interface. That provides a user interface and drives the client protocol interpreter.

An much more doubts we have.

It will be very helpfull to receive some recomendations.

Thanks a lot!

Timeouts

Jason — Fri, 05 Dec 2003 02:43:37 GMT

Hoping someone here can explain what happens when a server timeouts from inactivity.

Because my application can push a new file every couple of seconds, I try to avoid disconnecting/connecting if possible. However, some servers have very short inactivity timers and when a user configures the software to a push interval greater than the interval, the next push fails because the current control doesn't realize the server timed out.

Since most servers don't tell you they timed out until you execute another command this may not be possible.

Has anyone found a dependable workaround?

Using Background Processing

skeeter — Thu, 11 Sep 2003 17:31:56 GMT

I am wondering if anyone has used background processing much. I have an app that I have optimized using background processing and that part is working well. The part that is not is when shutting down the app something is not terminating and the app cannot close, it just hangs. I am using VB6 on an old win 98 box, (my client is insistent on these restrictions). Any thoughts anyone?

Maybe this is why there is very little documentation on using background processing....

(POLL) Firewall and Proxy server support

Odi [Xceed] — Thu, 20 Nov 2003 19:39:19 GMT

Xceed FTP Library provides a certain level of support for working through firewalls (thanks to its Socks 4 and 5 support as well as proper handling of the Passive mode feature).

For this library, and the .NET edition, we need to know if this firewall support is sufficient or are there specific firewalls or proxy server applications you need support for as well?

Thanks for your replies.

Getting Directory listing from AS/400

Windows 98 support

Richard — Wed, 17 Sep 2003 09:58:08 GMT

I am trying to distribute an application which uses the Xceed FTP library, v1.1.112.0 to a Windows 98 SE computer. When I try to register the library using regsvr32, I receive the error message, "DllRegisterServer in XceedFtp.dll failed. Return code was 0x80070002".

I sent this question to support@xceedsoft.com on Monday 8th September, at 7:40 PM UK time. I am still waiting for a response. :@

According to your documentation, I do not need to distribute any other files with the application. However, the error message indicates that the library is unable to locate a file. Is there any way to use this component on a Windows 98 machine?
