ChanStats FTP and Passive mode

[Venus]

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: Select all

       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.

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

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: Select all

[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in case you are really using a not all to long outdated version of FTP ^^.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 .
