Title: Ftp connection will login, but then does nothing
Post by: Sam42 on February 23, 2011, 11:31:24 pm

I'm attempting to set up a simple program to grab a few files from an ftp server, and so i've been following the documentation online. At the moment the program is very short, and looks like this:

Code: [Select]

#include <SFML/Network.hpp>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Create a new FTP client
    sf::Ftp ftp;

    // Connect to the server
    sf::Ftp::Response response = ftp.Connect("thesiteaddress");
    if (response.IsOk())
        cout << "Connected" << std::endl;

    // Log in
    response = ftp.Login("username", "password");
    if (response.IsOk())
        cout << "Logged in" << std::endl;

    // Print the working directory
    sf::Ftp::DirectoryResponse directory = ftp.GetWorkingDirectory();
    if (directory.IsOk())
    std::cout << "Working directory: " << directory.GetDirectory() << std::endl;


     // Download a file to this new directory
    response = ftp.Download("blah.txt", "file", sf::Ftp::Ascii);
    if (response.IsOk())
    {
        cout << "File Downloaded" << endl;
    }
    else
    {
        cout << response.GetStatus() << endl;
    }


    ftp.Disconnect();

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Where the site address/username/password are replaced with actual values.

This code results in the following output when compiled and run:

Quote

Connected
Logged in
Working directory: /
1001

There is a long wait between working directory, and GetStatus() returning 1001. I've noticed that using something like filezilla i'm unable to get this ftp server to work unless I set it to "active" under Transfer mode.

Any suggestions on what to do, or indeed, pointing out any glaring errors in the code would be greatly appreciated!

sf::Ftp always transfers in passive mode, that why it fails if your server doesn't support it.

That would explain it! Cheers for the quick reply.

How can I upload something to a FTP, from another website without downloading it? I have a garrys mod server, but Uploading is a pain in my I have a very slow upload speed. I would rather just be able to have another site download it, then upload it to my ftp for me. Is there any services online that can do that?
