What will happen if we attempt to download something that is partially uploaded by our customer? Will it not appear on the dirlist if the item is in progress?
TIA

Hi Mike,
File will appear immidiatelly when you start to transfer it to server.
One thing you can do to determine which file is still unfinished and which is finished. You can upload file to server using some extension. For example .filepart extension. Something like this: weonlydo.txt.filepart
When file is uploaded to server completely you can rename that file and remove .filepart extension from name of file. You can do that using wodFtpDLX Rename Method.

Hope I helped.

Thanks for the quick reply. What we're doing is downloading files that our customers put up on the FTP site. I'm writing a service that polls folders for incomming files. When the file is found we download it. What will happen if the customer starts uploading and my service starts downloading before it's done. Is there a DirItems(n) property that we can check to see if the file's locked or something?
TIA

Mike,
wodFtpDLX will download that file. I have checked with other clients and it's same.
Unfortunately we don't have such property that will check if file is uncompleted. I'm not sure that this option can be implemented at all.
One workaround is to list files in folder and wait some time (5-10 seconds) and list is again and compare size of files. If file size is same transfer is completed.

...what I really like is that wodSSH and wodSFTP components work excellently and are constantly being improved...
May I say how nice it is to work with components so complete and self-explanatory that using them in my application is as instinctive as though I wrote them myself?
It is very refreshing to find such helpful, knowledgeable and quick responding technical support.
I've heard that you are amazing with your replies coming back so quickly - and now I've seen the speed in which you reply first hand.
...with a minimum of effort as the DLL interface was written with such simplicity...
...wodFtpDlx was exactly what I needed, it worked, and it was priced right...
...with WOD's excellent support I was able to bypass Winsock and focus on the task at hand...
Congratulations on an excellent product and first rate support!
