I need to FTP a file from our server to our SMS Service Provider without any user intervention from a polling machine. When using FTP Explorer it works fine.
The following message is returned from the FTPSend function:
220 sms1.za.itouchnet.net NcFTPd Server (licensed copy) ready.
331 User arcadia1 okay, need password.
230-You are user #36 of 50 simultaneous users allowed.

How do you have the path parameter set up? You need to supply a non-null path, even if its simply "/"

Thanks Steve,
Tried it with the path "/", same problem.

I tried to get hold of NCFTP from http://www.ncftp.com/download/ but it doesn't seem to have a Windows version. Are you saying NCFTP is not operating in Passive mode? If it isn't then OI probably can't talk to it. This is because the PASV command displays the port it wants the FTP client to connect on, and OI uses the display to work out the data connection port for data transfer. PASV FTP is quite widely used/preferred. What's the thinking here?

during the testing of my original ftpManager when the socket tools were release i had 5 volunteers give me ftp addresses. 2 were passive and 3 were not.
I think that many of the *nix systems are not using passive. at least it appears that way.
