FTP with PowerBuilder 8.0 (client/server exe program)

[Maurizio]

How can I send via FTP files from a client/server exe
program (developed with PowerBuilder 8.0) to a server FTP ?
Is there any library?

if your on a MS operating system there is an FTP util.
ftp.exe

you could write a script file from PB and call the ftp pgm
to use it.

(supperss auto login and use script file)
ex:ftp -n -s:ftp.txt

here an script file: (ftp.txt)

open ftpdev01
user tim tpsword
cd /home/fred/ftpdir/
put ftp.txt
bye

here are the dos ftp commands: (ftp --)
FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g] [-s:filename] [-a]
[-w:windowsize] [-A] [host]

-v Suppresses display of remote server
responses.
-n Suppresses auto-login upon initial
connection.
-i Turns off interactive prompting during
multiple file
transfers.
-d Enables debugging.
-g Disables filename globbing (see GLOB
command).
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP
commands; the
commands will automatically run after FTP
starts.
-a Use any local interface when binding data
connection.
-A login as anonymous.
-w:buffersize Overrides the default transfer buffer size
of 4096.
host Specifies the host name or IP address of
the remote
host to connect to.

Notes:
- mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
- Use Control-C to abort commands.

once in the ftp pgm - here are the ftp commands: (ftp> help)

! delete literal prompt
send
? debug ls put
status
append dir mdelete pwd
trace
ascii disconnect mdir quit
type
bell get mget quote
user
binary glob mkdir recv
verbose
bye hash mls remotehelp
cd help mput rename
close lcd open rmdir

There is a sample FTP app in the PowerBuilder section of CodeXchange
(http://powerbuilder.codexchange.sybase.com). You might want to look at that and
see if it meets your requirements.

Good luck,

Hi Terry, can you say where exactly under PowerBuilder the code exists? I'm
looking and there isn't anything that says FTP specifically. Thanks

It is under "PB Historical Code Samples, etc. - PB 5" or you can type in FTP
in the search box on the page.
