INdy 9 FTP client and server, using delphi 5 When transferring file I get
"141:550 "RETR" command not implemented"

I am new to indy, but I am just trying to get an Indy FTP client to logon to
and Indy FTP server and transfer a file. Is the software installed properly?
or do I need to write code to have the server send the requested file over?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

You probably need to implement the OnRetrieveFile event in
TIdFTPServer.

It's declared like this:

procedure TForm1.IdFTPServer1RetrieveFile(ASender: TIdFTPServerThread;
const AFileName: String; var VStream: TStream);
begin

end;

You implement it by crating a Stream and assigning it to the VStream
parameter. What you do in stream is up to you so you could access a
particular file, read from memory, or retreive it from some database
blob feild.

HTH.
