When i connect to ftp server with rev stack or standalone, every line of any message that it receive from the server ends with some weird box. I wanted to post it here but it can't be copied.
What can be the problem?

line endings.
for the resulting messages:
put cr is in the message
put lf is in the message
put crlf is in the message
What kind of operating system are you on?

OK, i will be more specific.
Here is the simple script:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
open socket "localhost:21"
read from socket "localhost:21" with message gotData
end mouseUp
on gotData som,dat
put dat & cr after fld "someFld"
read from socket "localhost:21" with message gotData
end gotData
So, this works. But every line that is received from FTP server (i tried many of them) ends with box.
I use Win Xp SP2. On Vista I didn't have these problems.

Hi BIX,
This won't work, unless you have a desire to figure out the FTP protocol yourself. Search for "ftp" in the docs and you will find 6 or 7 useful commands and functions.
Best,
Mark

This actually "works", it receives messages from server, like welcome message and other, but with that weird box.
When I use script:
it answers the list of files on the server, but, i repeat, with some box at the end of each line.

BIX,
As malte explained, this is probably due to line endings. Try this:
put url "
ftp://localhost/" into myList
put chartonum(-2) of myList & cr & chartonum(-1) of myList
What do you get?

Or you can replace the extra carriage returns like this:
Code: Select all
put URL "ftp://localhost/" into theList
replace CRLF with LF in theList
answer theList
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.
