FTPeek getFileInfo

[Ocean West]

Is it possible some FTP won't allow the FTPeek_GetFileInfo ( remotePath; infoType ) to return data ( size / mod date?) - error is all that is ever returned.

[Fenton]

I don't know about the current version. But I was trying this (more than once) on files on a client server (logged into the server itself, via screen sharing). And I never could get it to work, though all the other commands worked fine. I ended up running an AppleScript running a Unix command line. Here's comments & an example from it:

-- Size is bytes, Dates are Unix timestamp, tab separated

-- Size Created Mod

-- 12071 1248189535 1248189417 /Users/fej/Downloads/2xfinder.zip

I ran this on about 80,000 folders, with some subfolders & files. It did not take long. Then used the path to populate the FileMaker fields.

But yeah, it would fit into the workflow better if that function in FTPeek worked. It didn't for me either. They had Windows clients, so I couldn't use AppleScript from the clients.

What is the error message you are receiving? You can call FTPeek_LastError after receiving "ERROR" from a function call to get a detailed description of the error. You can also check the plugin logs to see more information about the error.

It errors on multiple different computers - for this domain - other domains we ftp to returns the correct size.

Also too - I am not even sure how this is possible - but the recipient is telling us that the line endings have changed but I am not doing anything

different If I FTP the file on the desktop using an FTP client they seem to read just fine - but files submitted with FTPeek they say the line endings

are not correct.

Hi Stephen

I think the issues is either in the way the library we use is parsing the date or it's possible that we're doing some additional parsing. Either way it would be best if you could set me up with a test account on your ftp server.

Please feel free to contact me directly.

Val, just sent you an email.
