Hi,
I need to connect to a remote (Internet) FTP server using SOCKS5. I'm using Delphi 5 Ent and Indy 9.
This is what I've got so far (thanks to DragonSlayer):
- I can connect to the FTP server, change directories up and down and disconnect.
- List, Get and Put commands don't work at all giving '10051 Socket error' which means 'Network unreachable' (if I'm not mistaken).
I have one TIdFTP component (in passive mode) on a form with Host, Port, Username, Password properties set in desing-time. The code is:
procedure TForm1.Button5Click(Sender
var i: integer;
begin
try
IdFTP1.Passive := true; // passive mode
// SOCKS
IdFTP1.IOHandler := TIdIOHandlerSocket.Create(
IdFTP1.Socket.SocksInfo := TIdSocksInfo.Create(IdFTP1
with IdFTP1.Socket.SocksInfo do begin
Host := edtSHost.Text;
Port := StrToInt(edtSPort.Text);
Authentication := saNoAuthentication;
Username := '';
Password := '';
Version := svSocks5;
end;
IdFTP1.Connect;
Label3.Caption := IdFTP1.RetrieveCurrentDir;
RichEdit1.Lines.Add('->Sys
RichEdit1.Lines.Add('->Log
for i := 0 to IdFTP1.LoginMsg.Text.Count
RichEdit1.Lines.Add(IdFTP1
end;
RichEdit1.Lines.Add('->Gre
for i := 0 to IdFTP1.Greeting.Text.Count
RichEdit1.Lines.Add(IdFTP1
end;
RichEdit2.Lines.Clear;
// IdFTP1.List(RichEdit2.Line
except
ShowMessage('Connect failed');
end;
end;
Thanks,
Geo

Hi,
I'm pretty sure it has to be passive FTP.
If I set
IdFTP1.Passive := false;
in the code above then the project hangs up on the List command without error :-(
New: I've asked the FTP server administrators and they gave me data ports interval. Where should I set their values and how? In 'Windows Commander' I'm using for manual connect there is no such data ports set but it's running perfectly.
Regards, Geo
You don't need to use the data ports unless working with firewalls, routers, etc.
When you execute a list command (or retrieve, send, etc) a new connection is opened on a different (>1024) port for that specific transfer. If passive mode is turned off, the client will initiate that new connection, if passive mode is on, the server will initiate it.
Did you check to see what the passive mode option in your windows commander is set to? Windows commander defaults to passive mode on new connections, but it's worth checking.
Have you tried ftp'ing to a different server? You could try ftp'ing to 64.246.20.124 (port 2121) with user/pass geobul/geobul

Have you tried running it in non-passive mode? It sounds like that's your problem.
