Can you show us the script you're using to upload the file? Also, if you're using one of the non-blocking calls (such as liburlFtpUpload), do you do anything after the call that might interfere with the liburl script. Examples would be a repeat loop that lasts for a long time, or the use of any "wait" commands.

Re: FTP and Cross platform issues....
Hi Dave...
Here are the answers to your questions:
Is the server on the local network or on the internet? It is on the local
network.
Is the "OSX Tiger Server" running OS X Server or just plain OS X? It is running
OSX SERVER Tiger (not the desktop OS)
Are you running any other "internet security" software on either the
client or server machine? Local WinXP machine is running latest version of
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise. Nothing on the server at this time.
Can you get some log data using libUrlSetLogField in the client? This
might help pin down where the problem is occurring? The info reported:
socket 10.58.1.7|6927
socket timeout 10.58.1.7:21|6927

What version of Rev and libUrl are you using? ("put libUrlVersion()"

I know there has been some discussion about passive/active/firewall
issues, but I wonder if something else isn't amiss. On my own local
network, with Win XP firewall on, I can upload to an OS X Tiger ftp
server without problems. I've had the XP firewall on since the SP2
release and have had no problems. I just reset the XP firewall
settings to "restore default settings" and still have no problems,
using both active and passive. (It seems to have upset my smb
connection though. :-( )
FTP severs will generally handle both passive and active requests,
unless specifically set otherwise. The problems over passive/active
generally occur at routers/firewalls between the client and server.
Some questions: (apologies if they have been answered already)
Is the server on the local network or on the internet?
Is the "OSX Tiger Server" running OS X Server or just plain OS X? (I
think they deploy different FTP servers, in case that's relevant.) In
my case, it's plain OS X.
Are you running any other "internet security" software on either the
client or server machine?
Can you get some log data using libUrlSetLogField in the client? This
might help pin down where the problem is occurring?
What version of Rev and libUrl are you using? ("put libUrlVersion()"
in the message box will give you the libUrl version.)

Re: FTP and cross platform issues...
Thanks Mark and Alex! I was afraid of that :-) In my environment, school district, by default the MS firewall is turned on. We could provide info to a teacher how to temporarily turn off the firewall. Even if they forgot to turn it back on, they still be covered within the district network. But if they went to the local coffee shop and forgot to turn it on they may be vulnerable. There are more ways to download a file, however to upload and add to an file on a server(say an XML data file)I'm not too familiar with a strategy that would work to upload the file. The file would need to be used by multiple clients, however, each one would at times update the data file. I know mySQL db might be a possile solution but that increases the level of difficultyor at least I think it does, ...who knows after the trouble I had with an ftp upload :-) Good learning experience though!

IMHO passive FTP is simpler. ...because you have control over which ports are used and don't have to worry about whether you've opened a range of ports in your firewall. It gets worse if routers in between have to route packets because then you have to open more ports all the way through. Much easier just to deal with two ports, get that working, and then try passive mode if you have to. Also... I used to have a router that would die if someone from the outside attempted a passive-mode ftp connection. It was configured properly, it just couldn't do it.

Re: Ftp and cross platform issues...
Thanks to all who replied! Originally, I was running Rev 2.7 on the XP box. So I went and tried it with 2.6. Still no luck. I took a look at the WindowsXP firewall settings and it was turned on. Turning off the built in WindowsXP Firewall allowed the ftp stack to work (Ftper)properly. Problem indentified! I went in and looked at the firewall exceptions and Revolution, Revolution 2.6, and Revolution Engine for Win32 were all programs that were checked as exceptions in the Windows firewall settings. In terms of active and passive ftp, the WindowsXP box was set for "Use Passive FTP" in the WinXP Advanced Internet configuration panel. I didn't think this could be an issue, since it worked when I disabled the Windows firewall. Not sure how I would check the OSX Server ftp service to verify if it was running in passive or active mode. Maybe something from the cmd line..? My new question is what Firewall exception needs to be entered in the built in WindowsXP Firewall software to make the FTP stack work, without having to turn the built in Windows Firewall completly off?

Hi, Why would you want to use active FTP especially for testing purposes? IMHO passive FTP is simpler. Best, Mark John- libURLSetFTPMode "passive" If you're testing things you might want to set both the server and the client NOT to use passive mode, and make sure there aren't any firewalls or routers in the way that might block ports 20 and 21. Also, if you've got the internal firewall running on the XP box (you shouldn't) then turn it off. -- Consultant and Software Engineer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.economy-x-talk.com eHUG coordinator mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ehug.info Advertise with us and reach 1000 truely interested internet users every month.

I noticed the above on the list. I wondered if you were planning on using the current libUrl routines in your ftp client. The reason I'm asking is that I was planning to produce a separate FTP library that would duplicate most of the existing FTP stuff in libUrl, but also add some further features. If this is something that you might be interested in, or might help your client app, please let me know, especially if you had any requests for additional FTP features not currently in libUrl. Although I've started on the new library (barely), I can't put a definite time on its completion right now. But I would like to get something completed over the next few weeks.

John- > libURLSetFTPMode "passive" If you're testing things you might want to set both the server and the client NOT to use passive mode, and make sure there aren't any firewalls or routers in the way that might block ports 20 and 21. Also, if you've got the internal firewall running on the XP box (you shouldn't) then turn it off. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: FTP and cross platform issues...
Hi John, Make sure that both the server and the client (Rev) are set to use either passive or active FTP. If you enable passive FTP, you have to set Rev's ftp mode to passive as well: libURLSetFTPMode "passive" You may have to set the socketTimeoutInterval to a really big number. If you'd like to do a test, I'm working on an FTP client. Contact me off-list if you would like to give it a try. Best, Mark John Patten wrote: Hello All...

However, I've been trying to get the WindowsXP box and Rev to upload a simple text file to the server. No success. I have tried Andre FTP utility, a couple others from the member area, my own hacks using the examples in the rev docs, and finally Chip's FTPer utility. None of them would work. The best I could see was that I was getting a time out error. Then I fired up an OSX Tiger Powerbook. I tried Chip's FTPer utility again, same info as on the WindowsXP machine, and it worked without any problem. Anybody have an idea why it would work on a MAc and not work on the WindowsXP box?
