Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / August 2007CFFTP Issues
I am trying to get a file from an ftp server and bring it down to my hosting web site. What am I doing wrong? I keep getting an error. <cfftp connection="RealComp" server="ftp.realcomponline.com" username="******" password="******" action="Open" stoponerror="Yes" port="21"> <cfftp action="getfile" connection="RealComp" remotefile="/#newFile#" localfile="E:\bpoprosonline.com\assets\property\#newFile#" passive="yes"> All the server, username, and password information is correct and the remote file is to the root of the ftp. Anything else look odd?  SignatureWally Kolcz MyNextPet.org Founder / Developer 586.871.4126 what's the error? SignatureAzadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com First I got a security error which I fixed with passive="yes", but then I get an error telling me that the connection was closed. When I log into the ftp using a normal client, I go right into the directory with the files I need using ftp.realcomponline.com, so I assume I would do the same in my set up as remoteFile="/filename", but I dont seem to grab the file. I keep getting an empty file with the right name in the right local directory so it seems to be the correct localfile. Is the localFile one the FTP server and the remotefile where I want to put it? > and the remote file is to the root of the ftp. the root of ftp does not necessarily equal the web root, you know... SignatureAzadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com I guess what I need to know is how to I connect to ftp.realcomponline.com using my username and password. Create a connection (action=open) called something like 'RealComp'. Then I need to grab a file from the main directory called 'idxcn0829072.txt' and then move it to my web site's directory at E:\webs\bpoprosonline.com\assets\property <cfftp connection="RealComp" server="ftp.realcomponline.com" username="myuser" password="mypass" action="Open" stoponerror="Yes" port="21"> <cfftp action="getfile" connection="RealComp" localfile="idxcn0829072.txt" remotefile="E:\bpoprosonline.com\assets\property\idxcn082907.txt" passive="yes"> or <cfftp action="getfile" connection="RealComp" remotefile="idxcn0829072.txt" localfile="E:\webs\bpoprosonline.com\assets\property\idxcn082907.txt" passive="yes"> what happened when you tried both code pieces? SignatureAzadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com Nothing worked. I stopped getting the errors with the remoteFile being set to the FTP server, but I am not getting any files. AND no errors so I have no idea whats happening try this code to test where the problem is. this code is straight from DW CF help: =========================================================== <p>Open a connection <cfftp connection = "myConnection" username = "enter username here" password = "enter password here" server = "ftp server address here" action = "open" stopOnError = "Yes"> <p>Did Open Connection succeed? <cfoutput>#cfftp.succeeded#</cfoutput> <cfftp connection = "myConnection" action = "LISTDIR" stopOnError = "Yes" name = "ListDirs" directory = "/"> <p>FTP Directory Listing:<br> <cftable query = "ListDirs" HTMLTable = "Yes" colHeaders = "Yes"> <cfcol header = "<b>Name</b>" text = "#name#"> <cfcol header = "<b>Path</b>" text = "#path#"> <cfcol header = "<b>URL</b>" text = "#url#"> <cfcol header = "<b>Length</b>" text = "#length#"> <cfcol header = "<b>LastModified</b>" text = "#DateFormat(lastmodified)#"> <cfcol header = "<b>IsDirectory</b>" text = "#isdirectory#"> </cftable> <p>Close the connection: <cfftp connection = "myConnection" action = "close" stopOnError = "Yes"> <p>Did it succeed? <cfoutput>#cfftp.succeeded#</cfoutput> ========================================================= look at the output of ftp dir listing and check if you have correct path to remote file...
