Problem with LIST (wodFtpDLX / wodFtpDLX.NET)

I'm having a problem when the command LIST -al is issued on a particular server. It gives the error permission denied.

Here is my output from using wodFtpDLX.

When the LIST command is used by itself, the directory info is retreived.

Is there a way around this?

Also one more request. Could you please mask the password when it is shown in output? I manually changed the password to **** in this posting, but I can see it being very easy for somebody to forget while cutting and pasting examples. Thanks, Dave

Dave,

you should set Ftp1.ListParams = to get rid of '-al' parameter to LIST command:
http://www.weonlydo.com/FtpDLX/Help/wodFtpDLXLib~wodFtpDLX~ListParams.html

As for masking the password - other customers would want it visible. It's easier for you to mask it by yourself, than others to retrieve it that actually need it.

You could do something like this in FTPReply event:

[code]If Left$(Command,4) = PASS then
Debug.Print PASS XXX
else
Debug.Print Command
Endif[/code]

and that's it.

Regards,
Kreso

Perfect on the first part.

Fair enough on the second, I can live with that.

Thanks for the great support!
