Need URGENT help wit FTP Programming

[cpbee]

Hello,

I need help for some FTP programming. I tried some other places, but nobody could help me. So my prob is: I want to code some FTP Client, that automatically downoads some stuff from a site. The whole thing should be or is started in WinAPÎ... with raw Sockets. I mangaged to get a connection to the FTP server, also the login and password submission works fine. The problem starts with some more advanced commands. Like List and / or Retrieve. I know the commands (got them from the RFC 959) but somehow I don't get them working. If I call for the "LIST" command, it arrives at the server, but I don't get any answer.
What do I wrong? Could anybody help me with that specific problem? Does anybody know a source of FTP Client that uses Raw Sockets?

I would be very thankful if anybody could help me!!!

(Here is some code I use.. "send" sends the message and I capture the server answer with "retrv&quot.

bool TheFTP::entrPassv()
{
int pos;
//Set Current Working directory
sprintf(message,"CWD\r\n"
send(s,message,strlen(message),0);
getServerAnswer();

//Print Current Working directory
sprintf(message,"pwd\r\n"
send(s,message,strlen(message),0);
getServerAnswer();

//Set to Binary Mode
sprintf(message,"TYPE A\r\n"
send(s,message,strlen(message),0);
getServerAnswer();

//get Passive Mode IP and Port
sprintf(message,"PASV \r\n"
send(s,message,strlen(message),0);
getServerAnswer();

//get Passive Mode stuff
pos=strcspn(bf,"("
sprintf(passivePort,&bf[pos+1]);
pos=strlen(passivePort);
passivePort[pos-3]='\0';
/*
//set Passive Mode Port
sprintf(message,"PORT *********\r\n"
//strcat(message,passivePort);
//strcat(message,"\r\n"
send(s,message,strlen(message),0);
getServerAnswer();

*/
getDirList();

return true;
}

bool TheFTP::getDirList()
{

sprintf(message,"LIST\r\n"
send(s,message,strlen(message),0);

getServerAnswer();


return true;

}

Hey,

I think your problem is that you need to send the commands in ascii mode, but when recieving files you choose what mode you want.

I have sources of FTP client/server that wrote before 7 years when i was 9... i'll find it for you. it is in Visual c++ 5 or 4, so you will have to convert the .mak files to dsp, but its done automatically so what am i talking about???

See ya,
I'm going to sleep
its very late here in israel now... and i have school tomorrow...
bye,
