OK, I admit it, I'm a complete newby when it comes to socket programming. I am baffled by the mixed results that I get when using the new libURL, especially for FTP.
I can follow the "put url 'binfle:/....' into url 'ftp://..."; part. When I implement it, I get partially successful results. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. That's what is so frustrating. If it didn't ever work, then I could stop obsessing about it and look for another solution. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a text file on the desktop, in a folder called "webRecord." I want to upload it to my FTP site, using this script: put empty into field 1 put url "binfile:/G4 Titanium/Desktop Folder/webRecord/test.txt" into url "ftp://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/test.txt"; put the result into field 1 I click the button, and after a few seconds get the "upload complete" message. But that's where the inconsistent results emerge. Sometimes the file is uploaded correctly. Sometimes I get a zero byte file. Most of the time, though, I get nothing at all. No file is found on the server. It seems to happen if I try more than once. If I quit Metacard and then try again, I have better luck. Still not consistent, though. I assume that I am doing something wrong. Can one of you more knowledgeable souls help me out here, so that I can sleep at night? Thanks a lot!
