Runtime error

#42792 |

I am trying to use ftp library with VB6 to receive a file from Mainframe.  If file exists on Mainframe it works fine.  If it doesn’t exists it triggers runtime error even if I have on error statement.   What am I doing wrong?  Here is a test code:

 

On Error GoTo LocalError
   
  
  xFTP.ServerAddress = “1.1.1.1”
  xFTP.ServerPort = “21”
  xFTP.UserName = “user”
  xFTP.Password = “pass”
 
  xFTP.Connect
  
 
‘  xFTP.RepresentationType = frtASCII
 
  Call xFTP.ReceiveFile(“‘filename'”, 0, “c:\test.asc”)
   MsgBox Err.Description
 
xFTP.Disconnect

LocalError:
  Call AddErrorMessage(Err.Number, Err.Description)

It should not trigger a runtime error, but rather the ReceiveFile() method should return an error code.

Have you tried to handle the SkippingFile event, which is another way to get error codes, and know what’s happening?  Here is more information from the help documentation :

Andre,

 Thank You very much for replying.  Somehow SkippingFile event it’s not being triggered.

Do you get an error code returned by the ReceiveFile() method?  If so, can you tell me what it is?

Andre,

 Private Sub xFTP_ReceivingFile(ByVal sRemoteFilename As String, sLocalFilename As String, ByVal lFileSize As Long)
‘
Call AddErrorMessage(err.Number, err.Description)

If err.Number <> 0 Then
   msgbox err.Number
End If

I am getting error 800400f

 If the file exists on frp server everything works great.   I don’t know if it makes a difference, but the FTP server is on mainframe.

 

 

 

End Sub

I suggest you set the CommandLogFilename property, so we can have a log of the communication with the server, and see if this helps identify the problem.
