This error is occuring because parsing for the FTP server you are using is most likely not yet implemented.
This said, you have 2 options:
1- You can manually parse the lines you receive by doing the following:
Set the ListParsingFlags property to flpManualParsing. This will trigger the ParsingListLine event where you can parse the lines received manually. For example (this code is to be placed in the ParsingListLine event and is for an AS/400 FTP server):
|
Static lLastSize As Long
Dim lPos As Integer
lPos = InStr(sLineToParse, "*FILE")
If lPos = 0 Then
lPos = InStr(sLineToParse, "*MEM")
If lPos = 0 Then
Debug.Print "Invalid line!"
Else
' This is the second line
lPos = lPos + 4
Do While Mid(sLineToParse, lPos, 1) = " "
lPos = lPos + 1
Loop
sName = Right(sLineToParse, Len(sLineToParse) - lPos + 1)
lFileSize = lLastSize
bParsed = True
End If
Else
' This is the first line. We just keep the size.
' We could also keep the date and time in another static variable.
lLastSize = Val(Mid(sLineToParse, 6, 16))
End If |
2- The second option (if you find the first to be a little tedious) is to set the ListParsingFlags property to flpFilenameOnly and flpAutomaticParsing
| XceedFtp1.ListParsingFlags = flpFilenameOnly +flpAutomaticParsing |
This is the equivalent of the NLST command. It will allow you to retrieve the file name through the GetFolderContents (or ListFolderContents) method however the rest of the file information (like the date and size) will not be accessible.
