I'm trying to read the files from a ftp-server.

I modified the ftpdir-sample and always get "oFTP:hFTP is null"
both oInternet:hWinINet and oInternet:hSession are empty

Am I doing something wrong or is it a Vista-related problem?
Many thanks for help,
Dietmar

function Main()

local oInternet := TInternet():New()
// local oFTP := TFTP():New( "207.46.133.140", oInternet ) //
local oFTP := TFTP():New( "ftp://ftp.ourserver.at/", oInternet )

local aFiles

if ! Empty( oFTP:hFTP )
aFiles = oFTP:Directory( "." )
AEval( aFiles, { | aFile | MsgInfo( aFile[ 1 ] ) } )
else
MsgAlert( "oFTP:hFTP is null" )
endif

oInternet:End()

MsgInfo( "Done!" )

return nil

Dietmar,

Just change this line in your code and its working fine (tested on Vista):

local oFTP := TFTP():New( "ftp.microsoft.com", oInternet )

Antonio,

I tried this sample on two PCs - the result is always "oFTP:hFTP is null"

How can I find out what the problem is?

Thanks (again) for help,
Dietmar

Dietmar,

Can you connect to ftp.microsoft.com from the Internet Explorer ?

yes I can connect to ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/ from Internet Explorer.

Dietmar,

Here I run Vista as Administrator, please try it as Administrator to see if that makes a difference, thanks

It does not make a difference.
I tried on a PC with WindowsXP in a different environment - same result.
I built the sample with xHB RC16 and FWH 7.05

On my vistaPCs its only me with all the rights possible.

Must be something else...

Dietmar,

I email you my EXE built using FWH 7.07 and Borland. Please try it there, thanks

I am getting the message "oFTP:hFTP is null" here too (actually oFTP:hFTP is equal to zero). I am using FWH 7.05, Borland, and XP Pro SP2. I have administrator rights.
