Q. Some of the parameters of the FileTransferStatus event are not being updated when calling the ReceiveFile method. Why?
A. When receiving files with the ReceiveFile method, some FTP servers will not provide the library with the size of the file currently being received. This happens especially when the PassiveMode Property is set to True. When this happens, some FileTransferStatus event parameters (such as lFileSize and nBytesPercent) will always contain the value 0.
If you require these particular statistics, you can perform the following workaround in order to make sure you get them:
Use the ReceiveMultipleFiles method instead of the ReceiveFile method. The ReceiveMultipleFiles method requests a complete listing from the FTP server before downloading any files. The library therefore obtains the file sizes of each file being downloaded and can then provide these statistics during the FileTransferStatus event. If you use this technique, keep in mind that the receive operation is slightly slower (due to the extra listing operation) and that the only way to specify the local filename (if you want to rename the incoming file) is to modify the sLocalFilename parameter of the ReceivingFile event.
Q. I am trying to install the Xceed FTP Library or the Xceed Winsock Library on Windows 95, but I am being returned error 0x00000485.
A. If you are distributing your applications to users of older versions of Windows 95, the Xceed FTP Library requires that you install the DCOM 95 update and the Winsock 2 networking API. These two packages are part of all subsequent Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000 operating systems, but weren't there in the earlier versions of Windows 95. DCOM is required by all apartment threaded ActiveX/COM components, and Winsock 2 is required by the Xceed FTP Library because the library fully uses Winsock 2 optimizations.
You can obtain the DCOM 95 installation package, which will update the COM support from Microsoft's web site.
If you are running Windows 98 and you are still obtaining this error, you can also obtain the DCOM 98 installation package by clicking on this link
The Winsock 2 networking API installation package is available here
Q. I am trying to send the "dir" command to an FTP server using the SendCommand method, however an error is being returned stating that the command is not support. Why?
A. It is possible that the "dir" command is not supported by the FTP server. You have to keep in mind that the SendCommand method sends custom commands. The "dir" command is a function of the command line FTP, not necessarily a command that the FTP server will recognize when sent "as is". For example chmod should work (on a UNIX based FTP server) when used with the SendCommand method since this is a custom command that most UNIX FTP servers will recognize.

Q. It is nA. ot possible to reuse an instance of a ConnectionOrientedSocket. Once you are disconnected, you must create a new instance in order to connect again.
Q. I am getting errors when trying to reconnect to an address I just disconnected from. Why?
A. This behavior can occur on some systems where the TCP layer is not releasing the socket quickly enough. Unfortunately, there is no other solution than to wait for the socket to be released.
