Closing pasv connection 1

[amethystct]

Okay who's a ftp wiz?!

We recently moved our servers behind a firewall and were told we had to change our feed programs to use a passive connection. I can get the mode changed to passive and it gets the file but then the connection hangs. Am I closing the connection incorrectly?

Here's a snippet of the code:
// Read bytes from server
System.out.println("Hopefully got the file!: " + getServerReply());

if (getServerReply() >= 200 && getServerReply() < 300) {
success = true;
System.out.println("Success.");
} else {
System.out.println("Not successful: " + getServerReply()); // transfer incomplete
success = false;
}
System.out.println("Close input stream");
in.close();
System.out.println("Close output stream");
fileStream.close();
System.out.println("Close the socket");
sock.close();
System.out.println("Done!");


This is the output:
150 Binary data connection for wamcon3.ok
Hopefully got the file!: 150
226 Binary Transfer complete.

I'm willing to bet that the subsequent calls to getServerReply are looking for more replys, rather than returning the last one.

Try stuffing the reply into an int (or whatever) and then checking the int:

int reply = getServerReply();
if (reply >= 200 && reply < 300) etc..

I'm not a whiz, but I've taken many of them...
