Hi there,

ah, thanks. I will try it

You can use LNet which has a fully working Lazarus-integrated FTP component and a working example client (which does most of the standard stuff). But only client-side for now, no FTP server. You can get it here http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/lNet

synapse componet works fine.

then I tried to use lNet conponent, but it seems that it only workwith passive mode of ftp. is that right? although I set the property TransferMethod to ftActive.

[Almindor]

You're right, there's atleast 2 bugs regarding active mode.

1st problem is that visually changing TransferMethod in OI doesn't change it for me ( I get ftPassive inside code ). This was a bug in my code (I didn't use "default" properly)

2nd problem is that PORT was broken because of wrong GetLocalAddress (I used HostAddrToString instead of NetAddrToString).

There was also a hidden problem with TCP server socket iterator but unrelated.

Thanks for mentioning/testing. 0.5.3 will have it all fixed

hi almindor2,

thanx for the version 0.5.3. I have tested it again with ftActive...
My results are:

220 FTP Server ready.

331 Password required for *****.

230 User ***** logged in.

Error on bind[10048]: Normalerweise darf jede Socketadresse (Protokoll, Netzwerkadresse oder Anschluss) nur jeweils einmal verwendet werden.
200 Type set to I

200 PORT command successful

425 Unable to build data connection: Connection refused

Can you tell my what's going wrong?

Hi
sorry to bring up an old thread
I was trying to get synapse to work to send FTP files to a server (login and username needed)
on a mac with lazarus
and trying out the simplesftp
but there problems in getting it to compile
looking for guidence!
or alternatives to use ftp ftp for lazarus on a mac? (intel)?
thanks!

SimpleSFTP implements a Secure File Transfer Protocol Client. probably not what you need.
Generally, the Demos often have "winsock" in the uses clause, replace with "synsock".
The most simple way to use FTP are the built-in-functions like:
function FtpPutFile(const IP, Port, FileName, LocalFile, User, Pass: string): Boolean;
See: http://synapse.ararat.cz/docs/help/ftpsend.html
I don't know how well it works on a mac.

ah,ok, i had tried that put file, but I did not have the username and password passed as well
Sucess!!!
thanks very much!!!!

Hi
just wondering if the Tftpsend routine can be set to be non blocking?
(i.e so control is passed back to the program)?
thanks!
