Hi
My code :

B4X:

If FTPA.IsInitialized = False Then
                FTPA.Initialize(Activity, Me, GetStringserver, GetStringlogin, GetStringpasswd, GetIntport,False, False)
                FTPA.SetTextSize(50,50,50,50)
            End If
            If FTPA.WiFi_IsConnected = False Then
                Msgbox("WiFi not connected !! please check", "WIFI")
            Else
                FTPA.SetProcessCompleteOn(True)
  '              FTPA.SetStealthOn(True)
                FTPA.SetText("Download progress", "Upload progress", "Total Progress", "File in progress", "Cancel load", "Done load")
                FTPA.UploadFile(File.DirDefaultExternal,"/share/",tmpStr2 & ".zip")

The progress dialog box is a tiny square in the middle of my tablet's screen how to modify the size ?
I did modify the textsize ....

How to close the dialog box when there is an error ? Without to click "Cancel" ?

GMan · Feb 7, 2014

Sorry, didnt read the news - yes, solved. Works fine.

Can we manage the size of the filesize and trabsfer volumen text ?
the filesize etc. isnt readable because nearly out of the borders

margret · Feb 7, 2014

Look at this command:

FTP.SetTextSize(HeaderTextSize As Int, TotalProgressTextSize As Int, FileProgressTextSize As Int, CancelAndDoneTextSize As Int)

GMan · Feb 7, 2014

Thx...that's it

margret · Feb 7, 2014

To close the dialog and kill the process use something like this:

B4X:

If FTP.LastProcessSuccessful = False Then
   FTP.CloseNow
End If

I will look at what it will take to mod the library to change the dialog box size. At the current time it is fixed.

Jobel · Feb 8, 2014

thank you Margret. Keep nice work!!!!

How did you have these big boxes on the 1st post ?

GMan · Feb 10, 2014

3" Screen ?

Just kidding: i think the pics are cropped to show only the depending details

margret · Feb 11, 2014

Yes, they are cropped from the full screen capture.

I try using the SendCMD to have the list of folder in ftp server.

If i do
FTPA.SendCMD("MLSD","")
FTPA.Close
I have
503 Bad sequence of commands.

To have the MLSD command I need to be in passive mode
FTPA.SendCMD("PASV","")
FTPA.Close
It works
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,230,52,181,229,72)

But if I do
FTPA.SendCMD("PASV","")
FTPA.SendCMD("MLSD","") '/share/")
FTPA.Close
I have
false 1

How to retrieve list ?

margret · Feb 11, 2014

I will add this function to the library. I didn't add it the first time because I didn't need it myself. I now see that it would be good to have.

New Automated FTP Library

UPDATED 1-24-2014 - Version 1.05 adds a new function for checking for files or folders. It also contains a few other small fixes.
The new command works for Files or Folders. If the last parameter is set to TRUE, it will look for folders, if the last parameter is set to FALSE it will look for files. Because the code runs in the background and is modeless you must have a callback sub in the calling module. Code samples below:

B4X:

'Call the command like this: FTP.FileOrFolderExist("plane.jpg" , "test/files", False)

B4X:

'Callback sub in calling module: Sub FTP_FileExist(Found As Boolean) If Found Then Log("True") Else Log("False") End Sub

UPDATED 4-2-2013 - Version 1.02 Corrects an issue where PassiveMode was not working and also corrects an issue where UploadFileSet would not work from File.DirInternal.

Automates the process of sending and receiving files using FTP with Wildcards & File Masks. Version 1.02 is attached. Please post/report back any issues you find, etc.

This library has progress bars for Each File and overall progress. It handles wildcards and multi file types at the same time. Issue one command and transfer multiple files and multiple types! Change the colors, text size and words of all objects on the Progress Dialog to fit the look of your app. Also works in Stealth Mode!

REQUIRES: B4A 2.5 +
Copy the FTP_Auto.jar & FTP_Auto.xml files to the Extra Libraries folder.

FTP_Auto

closes the connection.

Hello,

I grabbed this code

B4X:

Sub Globals
   'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
   Dim FTPA As FTP_Auto

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
  If FirstTime Then
  FTPA.Initialize(Activity, Me, "ftpperso.free.fr", "xxxxxx", "yyyyy", "21", True, False)
  End If
End Sub

Here are the errors

WHY ?

Best Regards
