FTP Upload

[vinod1]

Hi,
I was trying to upload a file thru FTP using the vortex SUBMIT function. But it is returning an error stating that 'File not found in location'. I've gave the code as follows.
<SUBMIT URL="ftp://192.168.0.69/" CONTENT-TYPE="text" METHOD=PUT FROMFILE="c:\sample.txt" TOFILE="sample.txt" >
Is there anything wrong in what I've given. Please help me.

try
URL="ftp://192.168.0.69/sample.txt"

TOFILE is incorrect in this context. It indicates where to place downloaded content, not uploaded.

Hi,
Still I am not getting it worked. The scenario is as follows. I have thunderstone running on SERVER-A. I have an FTP server running on SERVER-B. I am working from a client machine (CLIENT-A) and connecting to the thunderstone server (SERVER-A). My requirement is to check whether it is possible to FTP a file (either from SERVER-A or from CLIENT-A) to the FTP server (SERVER-B).
I will be thankfull if some sample code is given.

Regards
Vinod

<SUBMIT URL="ftp://serverb/sample.txt" CONTENT-TYPE="text" METHOD=PUT FROMFILE="c:\sample.txt">

Thanks Mark..It works fine now. I was unable to login to FTP sites which doesn't support anonymous login. Later I got it by specifying username and password in the URL control parameter

Can I use a similar method using SUBMIT to run FTP that uses a text file containing FTP commands (ie: ftp -s:commandtextfile.txt 192.168.0.1)?

Nope. The FTP command must be given via METHOD, and only GET, PUT and DELETE are currently supported for FTP. You would have to parse the file yourself, eg.:

<readln row s:\commandtextfile.txt>
<$line = $ret>
... parse $line for url and command ...
<submit method=$parsedmethod url=$parsedurl>
... error check ...
</readln>

(Also note that CONTENT-TYPE is ignored for FTP URLs, as there's no way in the protocol to set it.)

Since CONTENT-TYPE is ignored, can I still ftp files other than text files, such as Texis tables?

[mark]

You can ftp any file. Content is irrelevant.

I'm trying to ftp a file using this:

<submit url="ftp://username:password@someipaddress" method=put fromfile="test.txt">

I get this error:

Cannot resolve host 'username': Nameserver query timeout
