PutFile (myMemoryStream) (wodSFTP / wodSFTP.NET / wodSFTPdll)
I am testing the SFTP component and doing a .PutFile with a memory stream. Between each letter is a NUL. Anyone do this previously and know how to handle this?

Hi Hal,
Here is example how you can use memory stream inside wodSFTP.NET PutFile Method:
[code] Dim dataout As String
dataout = this is some text
Dim ms As System.IO.MemoryStream
ms = New System.IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(dataout))
sftp1.PutFile(ms, /home/test/testfile.txt )[/code]
Can you maybe try something like that and let us know how it goes?
Hope I helped.
Regards,

I have narrowed this issue down to when the file being transfered is in a format other than ASCII.
Is there something I need to do different for transfering unicode?

You only need to change encoding from ASCII to Unicode inside my code. Does it work like that maybe?

When I set to UNICODE is when I get the [NUL]
for example:
t[NUL]e[NUL]s[NUL]t[NUL]

Can you show us maybe your code snippet?

This is my function
[code]Public Function Send(ByVal FileData As MemoryStream, ByVal UserName As String, ByVal Password As String, ByVal Server As String, ByVal Port As Integer, ByVal OutputPath As String)
Dim myFT As New SFTP
Dim toReturn As Boolean
Try
myFT.Hostname = Server
myFT.Login = UserName
myFT.Password = Password
myFT.RemotePath = OutputPath
myFT.Port = Port
myFT.Blocking = True
myFT.Connect()
myFT.TransferMode = SFTP.TransferModes.Binary
myFT.PutFile(FileData)
FileData.Close()
toReturn = True
Catch ex As Exception
toReturn = False
Finally
myFT.Dispose()
End Try
Return toReturn
End Function[/code]
This is my calling event
[code]Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SFTPFileTransfer.Send(New IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(TextBox1.Text)), _
user , pw , server , 22, _
String.Format( /path/TestFilename{0}.txt , DateTime.Now.ToString( yyyyddMMHHmmss )))
End Sub[/code]

Hal,
Can you please change encoding from Unicode to UTF8 (this is unicode also).
Something like this:[code]System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(TextBox1.Text)[/code]
Does that help maybe?

UTF8 produced the expected results. Thanks.

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?

The SFTP ocx is one of the finest pieces of programming I have seen. It worked out of the box...

This has been, by far, the best experience I have ever had dealing with a support entity in my long career in the technical arena

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.

Congratulations on an excellent product and first rate support!

I can only hope I will have the pleasure to work with other products by "We Only Do" in the future.

We have recently completed a large 1200+ location project where reliable Telnet and SSH connectivity was required. wodSSH worked flawlessly and allowed our staff to complete our project ontime and within budget.

Brilliant, even works on the mobile phone...

...with WOD's excellent support I was able to bypass Winsock and focus on the task at hand...

The wodCrypt product is great and we appreciate your effort to add support for UNIX Crypt.
