[REBOL] FTP problem
Just an update for those interested. Regarding the memory leak in FTP, over the weekend I was able to copy ~6500 files over FTP using Smooth Copy before the memory leak caused the program to fail. That's a definite improvement over the ~1500 files it was failing at last week.

[REBOL] FTP memory leak?
Hello, all. I was wondering if anyone had seen a memory leak related to FTP. I have written a backup application using Rebol. I can back up 50,000 local files without any problems, but if I try to back up ~250 files from an FTP location to a local drive, Rebol's memory usage goes through the roof and then I get a crash due to not enough memory. IIRC, someone wrote an improved FTP. Does it address this? Where can I get it? Thanks!

[REBOL] ftp and the closing of ports.
Hello, I've been reading some of the posts regarding rebol's ftp. I am having an issue with the closing of ftp ports. My host recently went to a 2 ftp connection limit (from the same IP) and this has caused my 5 year old ftp scripts to fail. What happens is this - I have a function that opens a port, writes a file then closes the port. It only works once however because on the next call, the ftp server complains I have reached the limit. At this point even testing is a bear because I have to wait until the server closes the port to try again. It looks like the port really isn't closed. I've attempted Brett Handley's system/schemes/ftp/handler/cache-size: 0 but I get an invalid path value error. Any ideas?

[REBOL] ftp probs
I've made a small change to the Rebol view editor to add an ftp option to the menu at http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/vt-editor but the problem is that after 900 seconds, I can't open another ftp file. I get a timeout error. It looks like Rebol keeps the ftp connection open, and it gets timedout. So, any ideas on how to close the connection down to prevent this error? --Graham -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
[REBOL] ftp scheme (cont.)
Hi again, It would be great if Ashley and Carl could run this new test against their servers. This one is in source code form rather than a patch. ---What I've done Romano wrote (some days back): If LIST is not implemented, the server should return an error, not an empty list of files. I think this is entirely reasonable, so in this latest FTP scheme I've changed the logic to use NLST only if parsing of LIST results fails. That is, if nothing is returned successfully I consider that an empty directory, if something is returned but our parse rules fail then I use NLST. Because it is simpler, NLST is unlikely to fail (if it is implemented on the server). If by chance both do actually fail, then I raise an error. I've also factored out the common logic as I see it into a separate function to see how LIST and NLST are so similiar. I've also merged the various patches added a little more network logging and changed [error? catch value ] sequences to [error? try [catch value]] pending Romano's comments on this error handling strategy. do http://www.codeconscious.com/ftp-testing/ftp-proposed.r trace/net true read ftp:// Regards, Brett. -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
[REBOL] FTP scheme was Re: Reading empty directories via FTP error
Brett wrote Ashley's 226 error was solved (see patch in REBOL library). Ashley also had the same error as Carl's (NLST) - which hopefully now is solved. Ashley's third problem was a general one about having had an FTP error, FTP could become unusable for the rest of the session - which I think you have identified in your error handling comments. Hey, you know my issues better than me now! ;) Assuming a combination of patches from you, Carl, Romano, and others correct these (and other) various problems, how much of the FTP scheme handler code is being patchd? 25%, 50%, 75%? Not withstanding the vagaries of the FTP standard / protocol, have we reached the point where a number of FTP related functions should be replaced by a merge of the various patches out there? Or have I underestimated the complexity of the task? I'll volunteer to test anything against the two sites I have access to (the second of which has a subset of the problems identified above).

[REBOL] FTP woes
Hello! I am trying to write a large number of large files to an FTP server using Rebol. The first dozen or two will go fine, but after that I get the following error when trying to open the FTP port: make object! [ code: 501 type: 'access id: 'not-open arg1: Port^@ arg2: arg3: none near: [open/binary/new/write/direct dstfile] where: 'get-cur-dir ] dstfile looks something like this: ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/test/sitebuilder.r.old If the file does not already exist, open/new should create a new file. The odd thing here is that it works for the first dozen or two. I also tried running the same script on my home network to another computer running an FTP server, but got the same results, although even quicker. I've tried setting system/schemes/ftp/passive to true, false and none with no luck. Has anyone else seen this problem? If so, do you know of a solution?

[REBOL] FTP access via a port spec
Hello everyone, I am trying to access the ftp server that my ISP set up so I can create my home page(s). Since the username contains an @ character I have no choice but to use a port spec as specified in the Core user guide (http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-13.html#sect11.11.) the following code works well : tiftp: [scheme: 'FTP host: ftp.host.com port-id: 21 user: username pass: userpass target: %index.php3] print read tiftp however looking at my firewall status window I noticed that it keeps the port 21 open until it finally times out. The documentation (same url above) also states that things may be done such as this : ftp-port: open [ scheme: 'ftp host: ftp.site.com user: Username; and yes I set those right ;) pass: Password ] But says absolutely nothing about how to specify the file to manipulate. Trying to read from such port results in an error : read ftp-port ** Script Error: read expected source argument of type: file url object block ** Where: halt-view ** Near: read ftp-port I tried all kind of stupid things such as read ftp-port/index.php3 but did not get much further. And I found nowhere in the docs how such ftp port could be actually used. This is very surprising since I can't see the interest of being able to open a ftp port if it can't be used... So I'll have a few questions regarding this experience : - would anyone know why does Rebol maintains an opened port despite the fact that the 'read is over ? - does it make sense to use a port spec to access a ftp server ? (assuming the answer is yes) - how can I specify the file to operate upon ? - what does it mean exactly to have an open port open on a ftp server : is it simply an open TCP connection or is it something more elaborate ? I am currently having a very strange feeling about Rebol, it is very powerful to use but the documentation seems insufficient to me on some points like those, which makes it quite painful to do even very simple things. It can be very frustrating at times to see that the documentation opens a new path to explore but does not go any further : there are handlers, schemes and protocols but not much is said of how to build one, what features this or that one provides, and so on... It all seems very powerful but also very osbcure and I would like to know if this feeling is shared by other people on the list ?

[REBOL] FTP large files (Answering my own question)
About FTP of large files. Here is a quote from the rebol documetation... (sorry I did not read...) Transferring Large Files Transferring large files requires special considerations. You may want to transfer the file in chunks to reduce the memory required by your computer and to provide user feedback while the transfer is happening. Here is an example that downloads a very large binary file in chunks. inp: open/binary/direct ftp://ftp.site.com/big-file.bmp out: open/binary/new/direct %big-file.bmp buf-size: 20 buffer: make binary! buf-size + 2 while [not zero? size: read-io inp buffer buf-size][ write-io out buffer size total: total + size print [transferred: total] ] Be sure to use the /direct refinement, otherwise the entire file will be buffered internally by REBOL. The read-io and write-io functions allow reuse of the buffer memory that has already allocated. Other functions such as copy would allocate additional memory. If the transfer fails, you can restart FTP from where it left off. To do so, examine the output file or the size variable to determine where to restart the transfer. Open the file again with a custom refinement that specifies restart and the location from which to start the read. Here is an example of the open function to use when the total variable indicates the length already read: inp: open/binary/direct/custom ftp://ftp.site.com/big-file.bmp reduce ['restart total] You should note that restart only works for binary transfers. It cannot be used with text transfers because the line terminator conversion that takes place will cause incorrect offsets. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.

[REBOL] ftp client
Some years ago, I volunteered to host a mirror of a webzine. This involves the ftp'ing of 1-200 files every few months. Trouble is, often the ftp process would die with an error, and it was a hassle determining where to start from again. ( I've tried several ftp clients. ) I've now been told that many files are missing, so I now have to upload the whole site again - 1500 - 3000 files :( So, I thought I would try using Rebol for this. My first pass is at sites/Compkarori/FTP dir or, on Developer IOS users/Graham Chiu/Scripts/ftp-dirupload But, a few problems 1. I read the local directory with files: load %./ If I don't lower the security level at the start of the script, then when I execute the above, it brings up a console screen :( 2. When I do an info? ftp://remote_file I get a size of 0 bytes on one of my servers (Solaris/Apache), but on another it works fine. To overcome this problem, I have to do info? http:// remote_file 3. I want a clean way of halting the ftp loop. I have a button that changes a flag ( halt? ), and the loop checks the state of the flag, but I can't activate the button. Otherwise, it seems to be working fine. If it dies, I can continue where I left off currently halfway thru issue 4 of 15 :) -- Graham Chiu -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.

I've seen this one before in another posting, where the directory was empty, but it's
not empty here and I'm sure I'm reading the file correctly.
Actually I performed this three times (I've shown the second, the third is identical
to the second), but the first one didn't show the last two low level reads:
Net-log: [low level read of 985 bytes]
Net-log: [low level read of 485 bytes]
as if it stops reading at a random position. file.txt is 1985 bytes long, so I presume
it has been read correctly, but other things are still considered garbage to Rebol.

Nope. Same error. But not to worry, this has a happy ending. :-)
I checked if it really applied it (fresh rebol session):

and it didn't.
If fixes a bug in the FTP scheme that handles response 226.
The bug does not exist in some later versions of Rebol.
Which is why it doesn't apply the 226 patch.
I checked my Rebol/View version
system/version
== 1.2.1.3.1
Then I peeked at your code and changed the minimum version number from 1.2.0.255.255
to 1.2.1.255.255 so the patch would be applied to Rebol/view.
After that the 226 error was gone!
Thanks for your help everyone. :-)

[REBOL] Re: Rebol, FTP and quotas
Something just struck me, and I'm kind of late replying, so smack me on the side of the head if it's already been fixed. For instance: files: read ftp-dir foreach file files [delete join ftp-dir [file]] Wouldn't that attempt to delete . and .. not to mention subdirectories (which can result in a no-no - haven't tried it with REBOL)? --Charles From: Henrik Mikael Kristensen I'm getting a quota problem with two different ftp-servers, when I try to manipulate (delete, write) the files on the ftp-server: ftp-dir: some-ftp-server files: read ftp-dir foreach file files [delete ftp-dir/:file] gives: User Error: Server error: tcp 226 Quotas on: using 0.00 of 10.00 MegaBytes Why is this an error?? I don't know either, but, depending on your needs, you may be able to achieve similar functionality with the following: ftp-dir: ftp://user-name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/a-folder/ files: read ftp-dir foreach file files [delete join ftp-dir [file]] The servers work perfectly outside Rebol and I can manipulate files normally. Reading directories works fine, but trying to read the contents of a file gives: User Error: Server error: tcp 200 PORT command successful.

[REBOL] ftp map to local drive ....
Hi, I was asked by our Lotus Notes admin if there is any kind of tool which will allow to map ftp connection as a local drive. They are so dumb, that they will try to find so obscure solution, because Lotus Notes can't simply read ftp protocol directly, nor it can write data in byte mode (only two bytes at once I was told, but I can't believe it), so .pdf attachement which will come thru RFC from our SAP system, can't be stored directly to harddrive. So the solution no 1 is to map AIX fpt drive to local drive or b) to find any kind of ODBC driver, which can accept binary data and simply write it to disc under some name :-) I told them to use small Rebol server for TCP communication or just plain and simply do the thingy directly in Rebol, but it was refused. So at the end, if they don't find any tool, they will create small Delphi app (because it can be trusted :-) and run the executable, so basically - they will achieve cgi mode functionality.

Type 1] I received the following error when I was deleting a file User Error: Server error: tcp 226 Quotas off But the delete worked.

Type 2] Another error I got was this: ** User Error: Server error: tcp 530 Sorry, maximum number clients (3) from your host already connected. And the delete did not work in this case. I then closed Rebol/View and restarted. I could then complete the command with first error appearing again. Type 3] The other thing I wanted to do was use the info? function on an ftp target.

[REBOL] ftp problems
Hello all, I've sent the following to feedback. Maybe someone has experienced the same problem, or knows more about it (especially concerning the second ftp problem): I found a bug when trying to make a directory on a remote ftp site with high ascii characters, even when the url is mime encoded. write/binary ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/rttrt20%dsds/ Rebol doesn't accept this, but it does when the accented characters are in the filename. Also, on cetain ftp hosts, I get the following message systematically : "Server error: tcp 530 Login for user 'fantam' failed (Logged in too many times.)" while if I try manually, I do get in. I suspect this has something to do about how rebol is announcing itself to the host. Could you tell me if this is customizable. I also noticed that on the remote host, a file called rebol.dhs.org is created and left behind. Maybe it's related with the above problem. Finally, after repeated tcp 530 errors (the ftp transfers are dynamic in my script), rebol crashes.

[REBOL] FTP and Absolute Directories

For example, I would like to ftp to another server here at work, and get a file located in /var/local/datamover/test1/. The problem is that Rebol seems to only let you specify relative directory paths below where you ftp in. So, if I use the ftp command and specify my user id and password, it will only let me reference a directory below my home directory.

[REBOL] FTP problems -- mystery.
I had an HP-UX server running a REBOL script in a cron job every night to pull a data file from a wNT box. That script does foo: read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/file.txt (wrapped in a try block), then post-processes the data before writing it to a local file. This had been running non-stop since mid-April. On 26 Jun 2000 I upgraded that HP-UX box from 2.2 to 2.3 (don't try to read that aloud! ;-). Everything continued to work properly. On 10 Aug 2000 the above statement began consistently failing. I can run the standard ftp utility from the command line and retrieve the file (with almost instantaneous response), but the REBOL script fails whether run manually or via cron. When I run REBOL interactively and try the same command, with tracing enabled, I get the following: system/schemes/ftp/passive: on == true (The above inspired by Carl's note below, but the same happens without that intervention.) foo: read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/file.txt connecting to: 1.2.3.4 ** User Error: Server error: tcp HTTP/1.0 408 Request Time-out. ** Where: foo: read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/file.txt trace/net on foo: read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/file.txt URL Parse: userid password 1.2.3.4 none path/ file.txt Net-log: ["Opening tcp for" FTP] connecting to: 1.2.3.4 Net-log: [ none ["220" "230"]] ** User Error: Server error: tcp HTTP/1.0 408 Request Time-out. ** Where: foo: read ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/file.txt system/schemes/ftp/passive == true Any suggestions from the REBOLnetworkingwizards about what I should try next? -jn- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It might be your firewall, if you have one.

Thanks, Michal...
But I believe the services on the host(s) are correct.
It seems that I get a similar message whenever I try to connect from
REBOL (either on the HP-UX box or my desktop box running Linux)
to ANY ftp server.
However, a transcript from a console ftp session (to the same host
I'm trying to hit from REBOL) makes it appear that a "normal" ftp
service is running on the host's port 21.

[REBOL] FTP problems -- mystery. Re:(4)
I'm passing this status report back to the list in case someone
else gets bitten by a similar problem.
SHORT VERSION: I have enough of a clue to get a workaround going,
but still have concerns about how well REBOL and
the corporate proxy server (Squid) are getting along. I also have
what appears to be a bug in REBOL's handling of .../proxy/bypass
entries.
LONG VERSION:
That thunderous CLICK! you heard a while ago was the light going on...
I tracked this down with RickM, our intrepid sysadmin, looking over my
shoulder (credit where credit is due).
As Holger suspected, I did have a generic proxy server configured.
This had been working since mid-April, and was necessary to get 'net
traffic through our firewall (little useful things like 'upgrade!)
The server software (Squid/2.3.STABLE2) and/or its configuration
have changed in a way that is no longer compatible with REBOL. I can
still hit the desired ftp server from within Netscape by using a URL
of the form
ftp://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
and get a listing of the top-level ftp directory space. If I use
only the URL
ftp://1.2.3.4/
I get an error message from Squid stating (correctly) that the server
in question does not allow anonymous connections. Squid's error
message, of course, is returned as HTML.
If I disable proxy configuration for REBOL (comment out the set-net
call in user.r) the ftp connection works. Re-enabling the proxy
setting (de-commenting set-net and restarting REBOL) gets me the
timeout again.
S...
Turning to Carl's draft version of REBOL Network Protocols, I tried
adding to user.r (after the set-net call) the line
system/schemes/default/proxy/bypass: ["1.2.*" "*.fedex.com"]
(where the "1.2." was actually the prefix of the class B network in
which the long-sought ftp server lives). Relaunching REBOL and
attempting the same read ftp://... command as before now gets me
a response of
foo: read ftp://xxuseridxx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/file.txt
** Script Error: Cannot use write on this type port.
** Where: write-io sub-port #{05020002} 4
read-io
Hmmm... So maybe wild-carding doesn't work on dotted quads???
Next attempt: Go back to user.r and insert the lines
system/schemes/ftp/proxy/host:false
system/schemes/ftp/proxy/port-id: false
system/schemes/ftp/proxy/type:false
after the set-net call. Try to run script. IT WORKS!
Next attempt: Assuming that my earlier problem was trying to use
a wildcard in a dotted-quad host identifier, I commented out the
three lines above and changed the proxy bypass setting per
system/schemes/default/proxy/bypass: ["1.2.3.4" "*.fedex.com"]
(where, of course, the read address appeared instead of the bogus
class A address above). Again, I get a response of
** Script Error: Cannot use write on this type port.
** Where: write-io sub-port #{05020002} 4
read-io
So, I'm now inclined to conclude that dotted quat host identifiers
(as string data) are not acceptable in the .../proxy/bypass list.
After re-inserting the .../ftp/proxy/... lines above (between the
set-net call and the .../proxy/bypass: setting) I get the transfer
to work correctly.
All of the above experimentation has been done on the HP-UX box.
After inserting the .../ftp/proxy/...: false lines into user.r
on my desktop Linux box, it too is able to connect to the ftp
server that is the object of my afflictions.
QUESTIONS: I'm still concerned about some things here:
1) Why does a URL of the form ftp://user:pass@host/path/file.ext
work for Netscape, but not for REBOL?
I'll try to track down some SquidVolk on our side and find out
what they changed before following up on this question.
2) Is "1.2.*" supposed to work in a .../proxy/bypass list? What about
"1.2.3.4"? I know it's lame that the sysadmin of the ftp server
gave me a dotted quad instead of a host name, but that IS a valid way
to identify a host. These strike me as legimate bugs, unless someone
can point out something dumb that I did (or should have done).
Thanks!

[REBOL] FTP Absolute Path Problem Re:(2)
Michael, thanks for the help. You are right, of course. If I ftp in from the command line, it takes me to the home directory of whoever I log in as. So, of course, Rebol will operate the same way.

[REBOL] FTP problems?
Hello all, I have been using a script to upload web pages to my site weekly using Core 2.2 on my Windows NT machine. After upgrading to Core 2.3, I've noticed that when uploading with FTP, it doesn't seem to be able to login properly. (Windows's plain FTP utility works though.) Unfortunately, I no longer have a copy of Core 2.2 handy to see if it was the difference. Has anyone else noticed FTP having problems on Core 2.3 on Windows? Thanks, Alfred
[REBOL] FTP problems? Re:
It might be your firewall, if you have one. The 2.3 release needs to have a line: system/schemes/ftp/passive: on in order to run in passive mode. Not very user friendly, sorry. 2.2 did it automatically, but this mode cannot be reliably detected on some firewalls. I'm think that we need to detect it better under 2.3... and do at least as well as 2.2 in guessing at it. -Carl At 7/20/00 02:09 PM -0700, you wrote: Hello all, I have been using a script to upload web pages to my site weekly using Core 2.2 on my Windows NT machine.

[REBOL] FTP on Mac PPC?
I have REBOL/Core running on 3 machines at work: A Windows 98 box, A Mac PPC G4 (OS 9), A Mac PPC G3 (OS 8.6).

Sterling, in your note to Tim to say that append should work, although it would be slow and inefficient. Is this really true? I didn't think you could modify parts of files using FTP. What can FTP really do? -galt

[REBOL] FTP crashes rebol Re:(3)
FTP can do quite a number of things... we don't implement them all because the "standard" or "required" set of commands is rather small and support for the extra features is not guaranteed. Within REBOL right now, you can: read, write, append to, delete, and rename files read, make, delete, and rename dirs I think that's the list. However, the FTP protocol itself has many other commands that are optionally supported by servers. There is a command to restart a broken transfer at a specified point, and a few that can specify the structure of the target file system or file to be used... I'm not really dure how they get used or how many servers implement stuff like that. Append is probably the only thing there you didn't know about. FTP cannot do any mid-file editing within the protocol... for that you'd have to transfer the whole file back and forth and do the edit locally. It might be neat to implement some way to get that download restart command worked in but how do you put that info into the URL?

[REBOL] FTP Problem Re:
Howdy, fellow allumn: Sometimes FTP has problems if it's not in passive mode. Set it my doing the following: system/schemes/ftp/passive: on Then try your upload.

Tim, I don't know much about FTP, but what I have come to expect is that you can copy, delete, rename files and directories. FTP probably stands for Files Transfer Protocol.

[REBOL] FTP and recycle
Hi Last week I complained about problems with FTP. After a sleepless night and tracing down a few variants, I could get rid of the problems. I inserted a "recycle on" in my main loop. After that everything went fine. In that context I noticed, that " probe system/schemes/ftp" is possible before any ftp action, but locks REBOL completely after the first successful ftp action.

[REBOL] ftp - tcp 500 illegal port
Win98 2.2.0.3.1 I open a REBOL console, dialin to my ISP and try ftp'ing to my website read ftp://edmunds:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ I get this error msg: ***User Error: Server error: tcp 500 Illegal PORT rejected (address wrong).. Still connected, I open a new REBOL console and type exactly the same line read ftp://edmunds:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ This time, I get the directly listing. I go back to the first console, same server error msg. I disconnected (leaving the second console -- the one that got thru -- still open). I reconnected to my ISP and typed: read ftp://edmunds:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ again. Now that one gives me the server error! I open a new REBOL console, and get thru.

[REBOL] FTP Connection problems
Hello, i'm having 2 problems using FTP.
1.When i try to connect to my ISP, i always get the Network timeout
message. I have changed the timeout to 10 minutes but still get the same
error. I am able to connect using the ftp exec supplied with Win98. The
only difference i see is that using the WIN98 ftp is that it
"Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls."
whereas the REBOL ftp uses BINARY mode??

[REBOL] FTP Re:(4)
I use the name form too. What OS do you use ? I use Win. regards AR It has been noted before that there is an ftp bug when using the ip address instead of the server name. To avoid the problem make sure you use ftp://ftp.rebol.com and not ftp://207.69.132.8 Not sure if this relates to your ftp problem though. I made that change in one of my scripts that runs in a forever loop on a permanent connection. It has currently been running with no problems for over 1000 hours. Prior to making the change it would lock up the system after a random number of downloads or connections. Cheers, Allen K -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

Hi rebels :-) I use REBOL running under Win as a gateway between different computer architectures. If I access files via ftp in a loop, my REBOL always crashes. My operation with FTP crashes too. I am getting mails from POP3 server. (MAil about REBOL from rebol list) Next I am writing it into FTP at 50megs.com. Rebol running under Win98. 50megs may be under linux? 70% operation is OK. 30% operation crasched. Script is running 5- 10 times daily since 1 week. Jan Regent
[REBOL] FTP Re:(2)
Hi With FTP REBOL crashes after reading every four to eight files in a loop. This problems does not happen, if I use FTP from the console. When I check via the file system every one to ten seconds, read and write files and transfer messages via TCP (low level read-io and write-io) and retry in case of communication errors (either file or TCP), I process around one to two thousand messages per day and instance for around one month without interruption . Unfortunately other applications bring WinNT down then. I hope, that the FTP implemetation will become stable in the same way. AR -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

[REBOL] FTP timeout
Hi Rebols, I wrote this script that performs a simple download via FTP and it works pretty good. When I try to run it trough Windows shortcut in order to pass parameters -sq to REBOL, it has troubles in connecting to FTP site. It's just like some sort o timeout is occurring Anyone else here has experienced it? Thank you Carlos

[REBOL] ftp limits? Re:(2)
Thanks for that. The directory that causes the problem is set drwxr-xr-x and
all the files are -r--r--r--. So I don't think this is the same problem.
This certainly looks like a bug in Rebol to me. The directory downloaded
through an ftp client results in a 137k download (about 1500 files). I
suspect the problem is caused by the number of files.
I really do need an answer on this - if Rebol cannot do what I want I need
save my efforts and look elsewhere.
If anyone want to give it a try...
system/schemes/default/timeout: 1000
print read

Replace email_address with you correct email address (all activity is

Depending on proxy/no proxy/Rebol platform you always get some error or
timeout without the directory listing ever being received.

Hi Nigel,
I tried this and did get a timeout but I also got a timeout under
Netscape reading the same site and received no directory listeing
there either. That, unfortunately, tells me nothing other than the
server is really slow. You mention that you always get "some error or
timeout", so what error other than a timeout have you received? That
may be of some use.

[REBOL] ftp limits? Re:(3)
Hi Nigel, Sterling
There does appear to be some kind of problem with the REBOL ftp is this
instance. I was able to get the dir listing with WS-FTP although the server
was slow (took about 150 seconds).
With REBOL I got (don't need the user e-mail if set-net has e-mail
configured):
system/schemes/default/timeout: 5000
== 5000
list-dir ftp://ftp.europe.ibm.com/aix/fixes/cad/other/catia_oem_v4/IRIX/
connecting to: ftp.europe.ibm.com
** User Error: Server error: tcp 421 Timeout (1800 seconds): closing control
connection..
** Where: list-dir
ftp://ftp.europe.ibm.com/aix/fixes/cad/other/catia_oem_v4/IRIX/
I had no problem getting the dir lists for each of the parent directories
using REBOL, so I am inclined to agree with your speculation that the number
of files or the time required for the server to send them is part of the
problem. Based on the tests with WS-FTP, the server should have sent back
the dir-list in about 180 seconds, REBOL apparently was unable to receive or
acknowledge this, leading to the server timeout at 1800 seconds.
The results of using 'trace/net are shown below. I have CC'd this to
feedback, perhaps Sterling or someone else at Rebol tech can diagnose the
problem? (I see Sterling has already replied:-)
I just tried WS-FTP a seond time. It took 120 seconds for the dir-list to
start downloading. The dir-list was fine.
Hope this helps
Larry

[REBOL] FTP for large files
I am wondering if there are any limitations to transferring files using FTP from a rebol script. I am getting "** User Error: Server error: tcp 150 Preparing to transfer binary file" for files above 16MB (15MB work fine, but 16.4MB and above error immediately). I am using write/binary (to save) and read/binary (from the FTP server). I have tried from different FTP sites and I have verified that these files can indeed be downloaded using other FTP clients. I didn't notice any documented limitations of the FTP file size anywhere. Anyone else have his problem or know of a solution? Any help would be appreciated. Brian Lenain Software Developer East Ohio Machinery
[REBOL] FTP for large files Re:
Brian, I have managed to transfer files over 16MB, but the problem is write/binary %bigfile read/binary ftp://a.b.c/bigfile will read the file into memory before writing. It may be possible to use read/part and write/append to move the file in smaller chunks like bo's movefile.r on www.rebol.org. I would be interested to know if this approach works. btw I have been using 2.1.90.3.1 (ie win32) as 2.2.0.x seem to have problems with ftp to some servers, in my case aix (rebol bug ticket #1256) good luck, john
