Trouble listing remote files

Question

Getting this error message when I try to connect ot one site:

[b]ERROR getting download list: EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPException: Unknown SYST:
WIN32 L 8 (WFTPD by Texas Imperial Software)[/b]

They are using an FTP server that I had not heard of before. :roll:

Any ideas on how to get around this. I need to download files every day.

Answer 1

You could try something like:

WindowsFileParser parser = new WindowsFileParser();
FTPFileFactory factory = new FTPFileFactory(parser);
ftp.FTPFileFactory = factory;

to force the use of the windows parser.

Answer 2

Thanks for the help!
That seems to have worked. I will not know until tomorrow when we have something to download.
:D

Getting a different error. I think they are related but I am still new to this software.

Answer 4

You could try setting the UnixFileParser instead - it may be returning listings in Unix format

Answer 5

Just so I understand. Does it use the FTPFileParser by default?

I will be testing this out on this connection later today.

I must say, I am very pleased with your product and have enjoyed learning with it. Keep up the great work.
