Here is problem I have with CWDIR() in 3.3
Here is my code:
Code: Select all
It would appear that is version 3.3 the CWDIR() does not return anything if the slash "/" is in the name of the remote directory name retrun by the ftp server. This was not the case in 3.2.IF($remote_directory!=$remote_target)
PRINT("Remote directory is not target....")
PRINT (" ")
PRINT("Getting remote directory listing to find target....")
PRINT (" ")
GETLIST($remote_directory_list,REMOTE_DIRECTORIES)
FOREACH $item IN $remote_directory_list
IF ($item!=$remote_target)
ELSE
PRINT("Target found, moving to target....")
PRINT (" ")
CHDIR($item)
$remote_directory2=CWDIR()
PRINT("Remote is ".$remote_directory2." now.")
END IF
END FOREACH
IF ($remote_directory2!="/SAP_Audit")
PRINT("Target is not in current tree, exiting...")
PRINT($remote_directory2)
PRINT (" ")
GOTO :failed_change_remote_dir
END IF
ELSE
PRINT("Remote directory is target....")
PRINT (" ")
END IF
Strangely GETLIST($remote_directory_list,REMOTE_DIRECTORIES) will not return "/SAP_Audit" but "SAP_Audit".

Hi Zythan,
Yes, it is a bug. I will release a new ScriptFTP 3.3 build tomorrow that packs also some other fixes.
Thanks a lot for reporting that. The feedback from the users is very important to me, sometimes I am not able to check every single detail of ScriptFTP.

Hello,
Sorry but this does not seem to solve the basic problem.
If I get the list of remote directories with GETLIST($remote_directory_list,REMOTE_DIRECTORIES) they are in "relative" form, but the CWDIR they are in "absolute" form:
Example:
GETLIST gives "data"
CWDIR gives "/data"
Therefore direct comparison between them is not possible, a work around must therefore be used:

Is the normal, or maybe I am not understanding something.IF ($remote_directory!="/".$remote_target)

Yes, that is the normal behavior, it is not a bug. CWDIR returns absolute paths and GETLIST only returns directory names.
I thought that your problem was other because of your first post:
Sorry for the confusion.

Hello,
Thanks for the information about the absolute return from CWDIR.
My problem was that with version 3.2 CWDIR our scripts were designed to ajust for relative and absolute, when we upgraded our sandbox to 3.3 the scripts stop working, but this was not because of either relative or absolute but because of the CWDIR, to just took us time to work this out.
May I simply point out that in the documentation it is not clear that the CWDIR return absolute and since it states "If ScriptFTP is not connected to an FTP server it will return nothing", we were becoming confused as to where the problem was coming from.
But now things are clear and our script are working fine.
Very best regards.

Hi Zythan,
