DetermineSettings

See more FTP Examples

Determines what combinations of FTP2 property settings result in successful data transfers. DetermineSettings tries 13 different combinations of these properties: Ssl, AuthTls, AuthSsl, Port, Passive, and PassiveUseHostAddr. Within the FTP protocol, the process of fetching a directory listing is also considered a "data transfer". The DetermineSettings method works by checking to see which combinations result in a successful directory listing download. The method takes no arguments and returns a string containing an XML report of the results. It is a blocking call that may take approximately a minute to run. If you are unsure about how to interpret the results, cut-and-paste it into an email and send it to support@chilkatsoft.com. Visual Basic 6.0
