Some questions about the (Multi)WaitFor timeout.
(Multi)WaitFor with no timeout: does it wait forever or is there some default timeout in play?
(Multi)WaitFor with timeout = 0: what is the behavior?
(Multi)WaitFor with timeout = -1: what is the behavior?
Hi Tony.
Are you referring to wodSSH ActiveX or wodSSH.NET? Behavior could be slightly different, so I would have to double-check it.

Hi Tony,
if Timeout argument isn't specified, then value from Timeout property is used.
When 0 is specified, then WaitFor waits forever.
For -1.. Well.. Honestly I don't know, it's something we didn't think it will be set to. Values should be 0 and upwards.

Okay, that makes sense. I'm trying to determine if the Timeout argument indicates the length of inactivity before giving up on the WaitFor or if it indicates the total time to wait for any of the expected strings? Data may come in bursts, of course. I am investigating a case where the SSH client seems to be waiting longer than the specified timeout but I want to make sure I am using the component correctly.
Tony,
it will reset timeout any time byte arrives. So, if data is coming slowly, or periodicaly, it will not timeout.
Jasmine.
I see...then maybe I am on to something. The description of the Timeout param says "Seconds to wait for successful completion of the command." That sounds to me like overall timeout, i.e. time until one of the strings is received - not inactivity time.
Tony,
I will agree that wording is perhaps a bit misleading, we will double-check the helpfile and adjust it.

...wodFtpDlx was exactly what I needed, it worked, and it was priced right...
Thank you very much for the rapid responses. I was a little nervous about dealing with a company that is on a different continent from me. You have proven my concerns to be unfounded.
Not only wodSFTPdll is excellent, the service you have provided is outstanding and second to none!
Brilliant, even works on the mobile phone...
Don't be fooled by the cost, it's value and quality far exceeds the price being charged!
Thank you for the great customer service ... I am really impressed with the wodSSH ActiveX control.

The SFTP ocx is one of the finest pieces of programming I have seen. It worked out of the box...
Fantastic product by the way, it has helped us tremendously on a daily basis. Keep up the good work.
...with a minimum of effort as the DLL interface was written with such simplicity...
