since been closed, for security reason.

they were hit by a hacker who defaced their site ...

I think they came in via ftp

try this 

 print read ftp://ftp.compkarori.com/

or, you can do this

>> trace/net on
>> print read ftp://ftp.rebol.com/

Hmm.. I thought Carl disabled ftp .. .but it's still actives

It does say "no anonymous login" though.

I  used Manum example, but I get:
** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value

** Near: face/font/name: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf"

Do you have a file FreeSans.ttf at that location?
Look for it with linux shell command:
	locate FreeSans.ttf

I'm not using View for a very long time, but I guess you must first 
make the font object!

MaxV has released a Debian package ... http://synapse-ehr.com/forums/showthread.php?130-Ubuntu-Debian-package&p=764#post764

Anyone running Debian who can test it?

Works fine.

And it is View ?

Nope. Core 2.7.7.

I have been playing with this for hours and have not made any progress 
after reading everything I could find about ports and ftp. Why does 
the following script not work?

    ftp-port: open [
        scheme: 'ftp 
        host: "ftp.mysite.org" 
        port-id: 21 
        user: "[user-:-mysite-:-org]" 
        pass: "xxxxxxxxxx"
    ] 
    write ftp-port "Test File" 
    close ftp-port

It gives the following error.


** Script Error: write expected destination argument of type: file 
url object block
** Where: func [face value]

You haven't specified a file to write to

you can try to use this: http://rebol.wik.is/Rebol3/Schemes/Ftp

Also as you can see, READ and WRITE does not support PORT! as an 
argument... at least not in R2

uh... sorry, now I see the link is for R3

Just dont' use the OPEN in the first line! And it will be working.

ftp-port: [scheme: 'ftp  host: "ftp.mysite.org"  user: "[user-:-mysite-:-org]" 
 pass: "xxxxxxxxxx"]
read ftp-port

Thanks Oldes, I'll give that a try.

ftp-port: [scheme: 'ftp  host: "ftp.mysite.org"  user: "[user-:-mysite-:-org]" 
 pass: "xxxxxxxxxx" target: %test.txt]
write ftp-port "hello"

Maybe there is some better way.. I don't remember it as I'm not using 
such a script.

I guess you are not using clasic way because of the #"@" char in 
user name.

I think you just need to change the host to ftp.mysite.org/testfile 
and it should work

You are correct, I cannot use the classic way due to the #['-:-'].

but the way you have it above you haven't specificed a target file

Oh, you are right, no target file.

Script Error: write expected destination argument of type: file url 
object block

Also note that you must use path if you don't want to write to root! 
Don't listen Graham, Host is just Host

the errors are meaningful!

Yep! One day I'll learn to read.

sorry ... you need a path element in your object

block ...

scheme host path port user and pass

port-id

You can tell I haven't done this for a long while either

maybe this will work??


write ftp://user%40mysite.org:[xxxx-:-ftp-:-mysite-:-org]/testfile.txt "hello"

ie. url-encode the username

actually this conversation should be in 'Core group

Anyway... using block or url is same.. the connection is cached... 
right.

url-encode the username. I tried that, did not work.

ok ... need to use the block form then

So I need to add a path in the block statement?

yep

You can see the caching when you do something like:
trace/net on

conn: [scheme: 'ftp  host: "ftp.mysite.org"  user: "[user-:-mysite-:-org]" 
 pass: "xxxxxxxxxx"]
loop 2 [probe read conn]

And last thing - you may need also passive: true in the conn block

Thanks for all the info, I'll try once more.
