ChanStats FTP and Passive mode

2005-03-18T22:33:37-04:00

my FTP clients use passive directly before they initiate the file transfer in your case before the PORT command. since you are using an 3rd party ftp client I suggest you to refer its man page to get the argument for using passive mode.
in case you use the unix command "FTP" it will probably be the parameter -p (lowercase letter). in which case the line would look like:
[open "|$cs(ftpclient) -np $cs(ftpname) $cs(ftpport) " w]
PS: i wonder why the scripter didnt use the "ftp://[user:password@]host[:port]" format for login. using

Code:

[open "|$cs(ftpclient) -p ftp://$cs(username):$cs(password)@$cs(ftpname):$cs(ftpport)" w]

would spare you the "puts $ftpid "user ..." line ^-^.
in case you are really using a not all to long outdated version of FTP ^^. im not familar with that command so I might have misinterpreted the man page .

Where do I put this? I tried putting it above or below the other puts lines and it still does not work.

ChanStats FTP and Passive mode

2005-03-10T19:11:56-04:00

Greetings.

I am still getting used to the syntax for tcl scripting so I am hoping for a quick response for what I think is easy but I don't know how to fix.

My problem is I am using Chanstats 3.1.2 and it will not upload my file to an ftp. I belive the problem is it needs to be in passive mode. I have looked on the forum for setting passive mode but the most I can find is to set -mode passive. It dosnt say where to set this and certainly is not pretaining to ChanStats.

So could someone tell me what line to set passive mode on? I belive it is in these lines but I am not sure.

Code:

       set ftpid [open "|$cs(ftpclient) -n $cs(ftpname) $cs(ftpport) " w]       puts $ftpid "user $cs(username) $cs(password)"       foreach a $ullist {        if {[file exists $a]} {         puts $ftpid "put $a $cs(ftpfolder)[lindex [split $a "/"] end]"        } else {putlog "CHATstats: Skipped uploading $a, file not found."}       }

Anyone with experience with ChanStats that could help me figure out how to set it to passive? I would truely apreciate any help in this matter.

Venus
