Hi All,

I'm trying to upload file into SFTP server using tsNetUploadFile, but with nor any result.

Here is my code tsNetUploadFile returns empty, which means it's OK, but not calling the callback(uploadDone). I think something is wrong with my code, please help to figure out.

Thanks,
Gurgen

The command also needs a callback parameter, which I don't see in your handler.

tsNetUploadFile(pConnectionID, pFile, pURL, pHeaders, pCallback, [pSettings])

Hi Jacque,

Thank you for replay.

I set the callback parameter to "uploadDone", which to can see in the sample code. I have the handler, but tsNet never sending it, so I assume that something still wrong with my code, but callback is not the problem.

Thanks,

Yes, I see it now. I did not scroll the short view box far enough down.

What do you see when you get the LC result?

put tsNetUploadFile(sConID, pFile, tURL,, "uploadDone", tSettings) into tResult
put the result into tLResult

Also, what edition of LC are you running? There are restrictions on SFTP transactions if you are not running a business version. Does it work if you use FTP instead?

Hi Jacque,

I'm using LC 8.1.1 Business.

tResult and the result are always empty. Also I have tried with "ftp" instead of "sftp" in URL, but same result.

Sorry, I'm not sure what the problem is. There are a couple of example stacks for tsNet but I can't find the links. Maybe someone else has them and will post here. Otherwise I think you may need to write to support.

Hi all,
in the open source version tsNet is missing, but it's missing also any documentation of it; so who uses livecode open source can't know what tsNet do.
I ask you the favour to fill the end of this page: http://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/TsNet
with all information you have in your dictionaries about tsNet functions and messages.
Just click on the edit button of the page.

The tsNet external was written by a third party who has not made the source code available under the GPL, which would be needed for inclusion in the GPL-governed LiveCode Community Edition. Bundled under proprietary license, at this time it's only available in the proprietary editions of LiveCode.

All other networking (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, sockets) are of course available in all editions of LiveCode, including Community.

FTP/FTPS is rarely needed, designed for providing ad hoc access to file repositories. I have one app where it's useful, but for moving data from a client app to a server a more secure and efficient means is to write a CGI for the server to receive the data over HTTP/HTTPS so it can validate the data and put it where it needs to go.

This Lesson describes how to write the CGI in LiveCode using LiveCode Server, and there are many examples on the web for writing that in PHP, Python, and other languages as well:

Do we still need a "Business license" (?) to upload to SFTP?

By the way, this page has broken links. Does it still apply?

Hi Trevix,

as far as I know the tsNet external neccessary for SFTP is only contained in the "Standard plan" (business) version.

Since I have a standard plan, you mean that I have a business plan?

Puh, good question, really not sure.
Try this in the message box: I got: Version 1.4.8 Business Edition
If that does not throw an error, you have a business version.

Version 1.4.8 Business Edition

Thanks (Pfuiiiii)
