2015 xPress++ Dev Con

[Cliff Wiernik]

I have been having trouble accessing the ftp site via a browser or ftp client. Via the ftp client it states port command failed, cannot get directory. Via browser, connection is reset.

Even the ftp command at the command prompt can login but cannot get the directory listing.

Cliff -

I often get reports of inability to connect to my FTP server. This is why I always send out eXpress++ download instructions with an HTTP link instead of an FTP link.

Here is a chance for you to see how I solved this problem using a small CXP program (below).

I simply wrote the program and installed it in the \wamp\www\devcon folder.
I named it DirList.cxp.

Here is the code:

<%
aDir := Directory(::physicalPath)
? '<pre>'
FOR i := 1 to Len(aDir)

? '<a href="' + aDir[i,1] + '">' + aDir[i,1] + '</a>'

? Trans(aDir[i,2],'9999999'), ' ', ;
aDir[i,3], ' ', ;
aDir[i,4] + '<br>'

NEXT
? '</pre>'
%>

This didn't require recompiling anything, just copying a CXP file to my server.

Roger, did you post the sample program, before and after, we used to show how to change a procedural/function based program to a class based program. Also, did any of the sessions recordings work?

I have the record but it's 787 mb, so I need to trim some of it.
I'm still in California. After I get home and rest up, I'll work on catching up with stuff from the devcon.
I'll give you the before and after for the PATHUTIL program too.

Sounds good. No rush. Hope your time out in CA is going well.
