FTP by IP address

[churchken]

Hi, All you Wonderfully Helpful Folks

I'm trying to directly download a file from an FTP site, using the site IP address.

Code: Select all

put URL "ftp://Chart4:Chart44@x.183.60/5bonds.jpg" into image "Chart20"

When the connection is first established, the server "authenticates" the user name and password, but then this error is produced:

error 500 Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use.

Utilizing the same username and password in Windows XP FTP, the download works as expected.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

[Mark]

Hi Ken,

Something is wrong with your server. The error is produced by the server, not by the local system or Rev. I have tested the ftp address on Mac OS 9, Mac OS X and Win XP. It never works and the server always returns error 500.

Now, please, edit your previous message and delete the address :-)

Best,

Mark

Is it possible for any HTTP or FTP servers to continue running while the computer is in sleep/low power mode? Or simply wake the computer up when there is activity? I want to run a web and/or ftp server from my home computer and I would like to allow sleep mode to save power without interrupting the functions of the server.

razeliex,

I think you need to ask your question on a different forum, about your operating system, whichever that may be. Some operating systems may be able to do what you want, also depending on the hardware configuration.

Kind regards,

Mark
