xuzo Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hi there,I've looked at the InetGet tutorial but don't quite get it...I would like to have ALL the files downloaded from the following URLftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/In a folder that let's say I'd call "ftdownload" in my documents, the dowload location will never change so no need for a directory variable.When I try the example in the tutorial nothign happens, IE doesn't open and I don't know where the files went or got downloaded or not?THanks,Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Try the _FTPxx functions if you're looking to get files from an FTP site, or perhaps try putty or PSFTP from the putty site, which will get all files from a folder on a remote site quite easily.

xuzo Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Here are my failed attempts at making it work: InetGet("ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/", C:FTP_testing "ftp://ibiblio.org") InetGet("ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/", @TempDir & "ftp://ibiblio.org") ;Advanced example - downloading in the background Local $hDownload = InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/update.dat", @TempDir & "update.dat", 1, 1) Do Sleep(250) Until InetGetInfo($hDownload, 2) ; Check if the download is complete. Local $nBytes = InetGetInfo($hDownload, 0) InetClose($hDownload) ; Close the handle to release resources. MsgBox(0, "", "Bytes read: " & $nBytes) MsgBox(262144, " ", "Three files are in directory: " & @TempDir & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Second file is in parent directory due to an error in the help sample (backslash missing)", 0) ShellExecute(@TempDir & "..") ShellExecute(@TempDir) InetGet("ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/", @TempDir & "ftp://ibiblio.org") #include <FTP.au3>; This line includes all the FTP functions you need. Open this file to see which functions contains exactly. $server = 'ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/' ;$username = 'secretusers' ;$pass = 'hiddenpass' $Open = _FTPOpen('MyFTP Control') ;$Conn = _FTPConnect($Open, $server, $username, $pass) $Ftpp = _FtpPutFile($Conn, 'C:WINDOWSNotepad.exe', '/somedir/Example.exe') $Ftpc = _FTPClose($Open) I looked in the temp folder for second attempt and ibiblio files weren't there... I would also like to download to a simple path like C:FTP_testing or something instead of the temp directory? Additionally that FTP requires no password and username as it is public domain.

BrewManNH Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Well, even if the username and password aren't needed, they're still required, even if blank, for the function to work. You have the username and pw variables commented out, so you're going to get an error for the _FTP_Connect, but you have THAT commented out as well. Plus, there's no function called _FTP_PutFile, you probably meant to use _FTP_FilePut, but you actually shouldn't use it. If you're downloading from a site, you'd use _FTP_FileGet, because get means to GET the file. Put means to PUT (send) the file on the site. Plus, there's no UDF called FTP.au3, it's FTPEx.au3. How many errors did that script throw up when you "ran" it? Because as it is, it won't work at all because none of those function names are correct. Have you actually read the help file? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

xuzo Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi Brew Man,Read the help files like crazy and only found a Youtube example in German I think!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnQIavFBt5Q actually a lot of the stuff on youtube is not in English...Let me try another example. I'll post the code here in a few minutes, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xuzo Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ok here is the example I tried from the help file for _FTP_FileGet:#include <FTPEx.au3> _FTP_FileGet($l_FTPSession, $s_RemoteFile, $s_LocalFile [, $fFailIfExists = False, [$dwFlagsAndAttributes = 0 [, $l_Flags = 0 [, $l_Context = 0]]]])Where do I put ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/ in that code and where do I put C:FTP_testing folder (that's where I would like the files to go)What to enter for the 3 following parameters? $l_FTPSession as returned by _FTP_Connect() is it: (is this ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/ ?) $s_RemoteFile The remote Location for the file. (is this ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/ ?) $s_LocalFile The local file. (is this C:FTP_testing folder ?) Then I tried this:#include <FTPEx.au3> _FTP_FileGet(ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/, ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/mutopia/BachJS/BWV16/Cantata_16_no_5/, C:FTP_testing folder [, $fFailIfExists = False, [$dwFlagsAndAttributes = 0 [, $l_Flags = 0 [, $l_Context = 0]]]])I'm very new at this and stuggling...this URL doesn't require any login so anybody can do it, if someone could run it on their machine and then post the code to take me out of my misery!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xuzo Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 It worked fine with the AutIT example but not with Ibiblo, I must be doing something wrong...but don't know what!
