[help] Ftp Drop Problem.

when i try to upload something is says connecting error...

i have all the info in correctly.. but this is what i'm wondering, because my username has an @ symbol in it, could that be causing the issue?

what else could be the problem?

I know IE has problems with @ characters in the password field: since this widget is using the built in FTP engine in Windows XP, it might be the same error. I'll compile a version with some more error information soon and post it here. Just check this thread in +/- 3 hours again.

If you are having trouble with the FTP droplet, download this version.

1) Quit AveDesk

2) replace the FTP.dll inside Desklets\FTP with the FTP.DLL inside the zip.

3) Restart AveDesk

4) Go into the FTP droplets properties dialog, and go to the Other Options tab.

5) Check the 'Show extended error information in a popup window'-checkbox.

The FTP Droplet will now show you extended information about what went wrong in a messagebox that pops up.

BAH, stupid thing doesnt want my attachement.

That means the server you are trying to connect to doesnt exist. Check the address again, make sure there is no ftp:// in front.

Ok it works perfect (Y)

#195615

Do you now see how hard it is to give support? :P

All these people are telling me that they have everything correct, SO they don't post the information they used. Only if they had posted it, I would immediately have spotted it -_-

#195619

LOL. I couldn't figure out why mine didn't work either and it was all because of ";ftp://"!

I think someone mentioned they're writing up a help file for AveDesk. That sure will help a lot :D

#195653

it worked great this time andreasv... thanks alot.

#196152

ftp is great! works no worries every time. AndreasV, ur a legend :D

one possible idea for the future : many servers are moving to SCP, which cant be accessed through traditional FTP clients, is it possible to have this functionality with the desklet?

#198208

AndreasV!

It still doesn't work! :rant: I've erased ";ftp://", set up permissions on ftp-server and... nothing!

Everything I get is zero-size file in remote ftp-directory... maybe it's my bad luck? :cry:

#200373

Did you try to check the "Passive Mode(for firewalls)" checkbox? Also, are you sure there is enough space left on the servers end?

I really need a little more information before I can answer this question fully, all I am doing now is guessing. Maybe you can post your settings (strip your username/password out first).

#200387

Finally! I've made a Woodoo for my FTP-server and it works now! :smartass:

I've changed Link format string:

Berore: [color=red]ftp://fact:@web.lucky.net:21

After: [color=green]ftp://fact:@web.lucky.net:21/htdocs/downloads

As you see, everything I had to do is to complete this string with destination folder path.

But, now I have another question - should I fill 6 editboxes above?
