InetGet ftp issue

[bruceguag]

Hi

I encouter a problem using inetget.

I run as administrator on windows 7(64bit).

Local $hDownload = InetGet("ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README", @DesktopDir & "\Mozilla-README.txt", 1, 1)
Do
   Sleep(250)
Until InetGetInfo($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)

but it can not work. if use http protocol, it will works ok.

How to resolve the problem, or detect the issue?

Any reply is appreciated!

Look for the _FTP* functions in the help file.

I use the follow code, just one line, it does not work.

So, this is strange, Do I need to open some ports on local? or any other settings?

InetGet("ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README", @TempDir & "Mozilla-README.txt", 4, 1)

I think Inet* functions are for use with http, for ftp use the _FTP* functions.

hi john

I do not follow you, I am a beginner, could you supply a link or some knowledge, that is very appreciated.

In document, InetGet support ftp protocol.

Sorry, My mistake.

Did you read the remarks in the document about prefixing user and password if needed?

It is also possible that your URL needs a correct file extension.

Hi john

I think the following code is an example from the document, it does not need user and password.

InetGet("ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README", @TempDir & "Mozilla-README.txt", 4, 1)

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any other ideas?

InetGet("ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README.txt", @TempDir & "Mozilla-README.txt", 4, 1)

hi john

InetGet("ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README", @TempDir & "Mozilla-README.txt", 4, 1)

this code works fine on my home computer, Win 7(32bit), but it does not work on my company computer, it is a security issue?

[JohnOne]

Probably, you should ask an administrator at work.

Add an exception in firewall for auit3.exe or *.exe(compiled file). It works fine.
