No problem. That's why I love, and preach, KISS!

(My father taught me "Keep It Simple (Stupid)" at an early age.
Probably around 7 years old. Military aircraft electrician.
They popularized this phrase - and they needed it most.) :)

By minimizing steps, it's easier to implement.
Also we maximize already-tested code. (Assuming it's good code.)
That minimizes the opportunity for mistakes, such as...

Matthias:

> how did you fill the pData parameter? Did you use
> put URL "binfile:..." into pData

Yep, good possibility!

Me again:

About existing code that people use as tsNet samples, I've noticed:
Some of the code is not well-organized for modularity and KISS.
(Basically, not well-organized, period.)

Maybe I or someone else here can post better samples when there's time.
That would get code sample consumers off to a better start.
"Keep It Simple" is a powerful coding philosophy that pays off

How will the resulting upload be used?

Hi PrestoBruce,

just a shot in the dark..., but how did you fill the pData parameter? Did you 
use 

put URL "binfile:..." into pData 

or maybe by mistake 

put URL "file:" into pData

That would explain why the data is corrupted after upload.

Hi,

If you are following the code from the lesson, what are you getting back in the 
tRecvHeaders variable?  Generally as part of the response stored in that 
variable, it will indicate whether it is using ascii or binary mode for 
transmission.

Regards,

Charles

Try tsNetUploadFile - fewer steps!

Which of the current FTP legends should I be using?

I need to upload a binary file (jpg,pdf,png,etc) to an FTP account.
I have spent more hours than I care to admit trying to make
tsNetUploadSync work for me.

I used the example found at 
https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/851756-how-to-upload-a-file-using-ftp
Which at first blush, worked the first time (once I put in my server path/login 
credentials etc).

However, binary files are corrupted. I see nothing in the tsettings array to 
force binary xfer.

I get Transfer complete with server response code 226
