World: r3wp

Compressed at http://www.rebol.net/rs/server.rand client.r  with 
the standard  save ... ctx-services thingy.

I'm pretty sure this is Gabriele's later release that has support 
for large file transfers.

I would say yes, LNS is still a good plan.  It's in use with DevBase.

Ahaaa..... so it was only matter of path..... http://www.rebol.net/rs
instead of http://www.rebol.net/rebservices..... :)
Thanks!

Here is one question for you guys:

I want to upload file on ftp. 
I know I can do it like this:
write/binary ftp://user:[pass-:-website-:-com] read/binary %file

Or I am supossed to do it.... it just wont let me....


>>  write/binary ftp://user:[pass-:-ftp-:-site-:-com] read/binary %file.txt
** User Error: Cannot open a dir port in direct mode

** Near: write/binary ftp://user:[pass-:-ftp-:-site-:-com] read/binary %file.txt

I can read the contents of ftp rootdir with:
print read ftp://ftp.site.com/


But writing is not working.... What does it mean: "Cannot open a 
dir port in direct mode"?

Try this:  write/binary ftp://user:[pass-:-ftp-:-site-:-com]/file.txt read/binary 
%file.txt
Yoiu were trying to write to a directory, not a file.

Thanks Brian !!!! I just didnt see it yesterday evening.... :)

Another common issue with FTP is to set  system/schemes/ftp/passive 
to true.

I looked at available documentation, and can not find any advanced 
settings like that in there.....
Where can I find info like that ?
p.s. But I can always ask you guys :)

Ufffff......... I just found it in reb23 core documentation chapter 
11.... :) 
That's what you get when you rely on google... :)

Ftp problem again.... everything was working perfectly from march 
till now.... we changed internet provider yesterday and my scripts 
dont work any more :(
Here is the core of script where error is:

server: ftp://user:[pass-:-ftp-:-firm-:-com]/data
file: %file.zip
from-port: open/binary/direct lokal/:file
to-port: open/binary/new/direct server/:file

** Access Error: Network timeout
** Where: confirm
** Near: to-port: open/binary/new/direct server/:file

I can still connect with ftp applications....

Should I check ports and wich ones?

You can get more detail by doing this first:
	trace/net on
Rebol will print more information in the console.

At a deeper level, you can use Wireshark (open source program) to 
capture and analyse the ftp traffic.

Make sure the username does not contain any "@". It's often a problem, 
but may bring another kind of error.

Trace/net  did gave more info:

Its not my new internet provider... :)  its our old router used in 
a new way... :)
This is the message I get...
Username... pass.... OK.... and then:
Net-log: "Opening listen port 2655"
Net-log: [["PORT" port/locals/active-check] "200"]
Net-log: "200 PORT command successful"
Net-log: [["CWD" port/path] ["25" "200"]]
Net-log: "250 OK. Current directory is /apl"
Net-log: "Type: new"
Net-log: ["TYPE I" "200"]
Net-log: "200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary"
Net-log: [["STOR" port/target] ["150" "125"]]
Net-log: "Closing cmd port 2652 21"
Net-log: "Closing listen port 2655"
** Access Error: Network timeout
** Where: confirm
** Near: to-port: open/binary/new/direct server/:file

On what port should I focus?
It seams standard 20 and 21 are going thru....

I noticed UDP disabled in my router configuration... could it have 
something to do with my problem?

can you try this ?
system/schemes/ftp/passive: true

It does not help..... :(

As I wrote before... It worked without problem for half a year.... 
now I have new provider... if I connect my pc directly to WAN it 
works.... When I connect PC to my router lan port it does not.... 
Everything else works.... HTTP , FTP from Total commander... upload 
download...., torrents work....

Vladimir - what is your FTP user name? Does it contain @ char? If 
so, you need small patch. Look at how is Total commander FTP configured. 
It should work. Aren't you using proxy? You might install WireShark 
and watch packets, that is the very low level of networking,  you 
will see everything there. Then you could compare your Total Commander 
connection with your REBOL one and see, where they differ....

also - what are your directories? Simple ones? Without space? Or 
is there space in it?

user name is "visaprom.com"
Total commander is set up simply...
use passive is ON...
here is what is happening with ftp/passive: true:

Net-log: "215 UNIX Type: L8"
Net-log: ["PWD" "25"]
Net-log: {257 "/" is your current location}
Net-log: ["PASV" "227"]
Net-log: "227 Entering Passive Mode (194,9,94,127,235,183)"
Net-log: [["CWD" port/path] ["25" "200"]]

this is where it pauses and then:

Net-log: "Closing cmd port 3565 21"
** Access Error: Network timeout
** Where: confirm
** Near: to-port: open/binary/new/direct server/:file

so username contains .com? Not sure it is allowed or that url parser 
handless it correctly, but I might be wrong ...

do you have any other account to try?

He got passed the login stage - that's not the problem.

just a sec...

ok, so port/path? What is the path you are trying to access?

FTP runs over TCP, not UDP.

as I said... it works from other connections.... only problem is 
this new one in this office.... it has to be something with router.... 
Im looking configuration pages for two days now... :(

Does the FTP server identify itself anywhere in the log ?

So the same script works from other locations, right? Hmm, that is 
really weird ...

here is script result...

to-port: open/binary/new/direct server/:file

URL Parse: visaprom.com password ftp.visaprom.com none apl/ ik104.zip
Net-log: ["Opening" "tcp" "for" "FTP"]
Net-log: [none ["220" "230"]]

Net-log: {220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] ----------}
Net-log: "220-You are user number 188 of 400 allowed."

Net-log: {220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.}
Net-log: [["USER" port/user] "331"]
Net-log: "331 User visaprom.com OK. Password required"
Net-log: [["PASS" port/pass] "230"]
Net-log: {230-User visaprom.com has group access to:  www     }
Net-log: "230 OK. Current restricted directory is /"
Net-log: ["SYST" "*"]
Net-log: "215 UNIX Type: L8"
Net-log: ["PWD" "25"]
Net-log: {257 "/" is your current location}
Net-log: ["PASV" "227"]
Net-log: "227 Entering Passive Mode (194,9,94,127,216,138)"
Net-log: [["CWD" port/path] ["25" "200"]]

Vladimir - IIRC, FTP is strange beast, and network admins don't like 
it. FTP uses port 21 to establish connection, but to transfer data, 
other port is used  - 20 IIRC.

path is simply  one directory name....

thats what is bugging me.... ftp from windows command line works...

from commander works...

even my script works up to the point....

You also should be sure, that you use passive mode. So check your 
firewall, if port 20 is opened. But usually all ports going to WAN 
are opened ...

[["CWD" port/path] ["25" "200"]]

what does it mean?

port 25?

Ill try to open port 25 ?

here's list from my system:

connecting to: www.jablunkovsko.cz
Net-log: [none ["220" "230"]]
Net-log: "220 (vsFTPd 1.2.1)"
Net-log: [["USER" port/user] "331"]
Net-log: "331 Please specify the password."
Net-log: [["PASS" port/pass] "230"]
Net-log: "230 Login successful."
Net-log: ["SYST" "*"]
Net-log: "215 UNIX Type: L8"
Net-log: ["PWD" "25"]
Net-log: {257 "/"}
Net-log: "Opening listen port 50061"
Net-log: [["PORT" port/locals/active-check] "200"]
Net-log: "200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV."
Net-log: "Type: dir"
Net-log: ["TYPE A" "200"]
Net-log: "200 Switching to ASCII mode."
Net-log: ["LIST" ["150" "125"]]
Net-log: "150 Here comes the directory listing."
Net-log: "Closing listen port 50061"
Net-log: "Closing data port 193.85.151.2 50061 20"
Net-log: [none ["226" "250"]]
Net-log: "226 Directory send OK."

Check here to understand FTP return codes:

2xx: Positive Completion reply
  so you can see the 200 codes when things went well.

Vladimir: does simple one liner as print read ftp://user:[pass-:-ftp-:-domain-:-com] 
fails too?

Ill try... in a minute

hey guys thanks for helping ! :)

Well, it looks like the PureFTPd server likes passive mode less than 
it likes active mode.
