#FILEZILLA FTP SERVER VIRTUAL PATH MUST BE ABSOLUTE SOFTWARE#
I'm often involved with motion capture projects, mostly using Vicon software but also Motion Analysis Corp.

Let me outline what I'm attempting to do. But then, I don't necessarily have control of things the way I'd like. I also thought of using some public FTP site to do it, rather than my own GoDaddy account. I've tweaked their firewall settings in the past for other things, but, it seems that, if Filezilla works, there should be a way to make VB6 work too.

It's a fairly new Netgrear router and a Comtrend modem supplied by my DSL provider. What's puzzling to me is that Filezilla (and other FTP programs) work absolutely fine with my router and modem. I may have a chance to try it some more this evening. I'll definitely try it.Ī few other things are demanding my attention today, but I wanted to check in. And Olaf, thanks for the old FTP Winsock program. Here's a ScreenShot (note the already adjusted test-hostname): (which you will not have to adjust anywhere in your system- or IE-Settings -Īs said, the whole thing implements the FTP-protocol low-level). With that server-name the little App still seems to work nicely in passive mode (which allowed anonymous access at that time) - but it doesn't workĪnymore - for your own tests - please adjust the the servername toĪnother server, which allows playing around in anonymous mode, as e.g.: The pre-set ftp-host (in TextBox1) is currently "". Was "nice to read" (only to me of course ) 15 years ago.Įdit: Here is a revised version of the above Zip: The coding-style is also not the best - so please forgive me for what I thought I wrote it 15 years ago (doing it "low-level", using only the Winsock.ocx) -Īnd it surely still has its quirks - but otherwise offers a little GUI already -Īnd also shows what's happening on the Command-Connection. Or as already suggested you can buy another FTP client component that does have PASV support.įWIW, here's a simple (PASV-capable) FTP-Client (as VB6-sourcecode) to play around with. If you can't move to another file transfer protocol then tweaking PASV on for WinInet is your best bet. This probably isn't the case for you if another client like Filezilla works for you though. Many FTP server admins turn passive support off in their servers and firewalls since they consider it insecure.

INet) is also built on top of the same UrlMon/WinInet stack I suppose it is possible passive mode turned on in IE will also switch this on for the old VB6 control as well. Since the VB6 Internet Transfer Control (a.k.a.

See How to configure Internet Explorer to use both the FTP PORT mode and the FTP PASV mode in the Windows Server 2003 Family The changes get made down at the WinInet level, which is shared by Explorer (Shell32) as well and so supposedly work for Shell Automation as well. You can tweak the settings via Internet Explorer's "options" and change to passive mode FTP. It sounds like the common firewall issue people are always having with creaky old firewall-hostile FTP.
