Topic: ftp upload routine

[irneb]

Code: [Select]

...  "ftp://user:password@ftp.domain.com//public//sites//www.domain.com//files//"...Is there some really special to consider?

Not really an issue no.

• The first ftp:// simply states the protocol used.
• The second is because the site's name contains it. Many sites use the same domain name and then a www prefix for their web pages and a ftp prefix for the ftp server.
• The www portion (I'm assuming) is just a folder name in the ftp server's shared folders.

I have tried in a thousand ways and I have not managed to make it work, maybe some teacher can collaborate with some test, thanks

Something weird though ... that code uses double forward slashes. It may just the why this isn't working. You don't need to escape forward slashes, only backslashes. I.e. a "\\" is interpreted as a single \, but a / can simply be used as "/".

Other than that (and the rest of the things previously mentioned) I cannot think of why this shouldn't work. It should rather look like this:
"ftp://user:password@ftp.domain.com/public/sites/www.domain.com/files/"

You tried:

(vla-putremotefile
       (vla-get-utility (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
       "http://www.topowar.net/Otros"
       "c:\\leame.txt"
    )

From the Autodesk Helpfile on the complimentary function VLA-GETREMOTEFILE:
 

(setq doc (vla-get-ActiveDocument acadObj))

    (setq Utility (vla-get-Utility doc))   ;; Connect to Utility object
   
    ;; Prompt user for a URL to download. This should be a URL to an AutoCAD drawing file.


I never tried these functions myself, but it seems likely that they are selective of the type of files to be transferred

just curious....

why not trying to map a drive letter to this FTP....and then,...use vl-file-copy into it ?

Maybe it would work on internal usage, but I see problems if the function runs in a common routine on different, "foreign" PCs.

create a VBScript file..
