1. library for FTP connections

I need a library for FTP connections, but those that exist in the section on contributions from users are not working, has many bugs and the main functions do not work.

After reading much about it, it seems that I have to learn how to use the wininet.dll file, from almost the beginning.

But for me it is almost impossible ... I do not understand anything of how to make a dll function work, from just the function name.

I want to know if anyone can help Thanks in advance.

If anyone wishes, 4.0 has a built-in socket interface that is cross-platform. It would be great to have a net/ftp.e include that implements the FTP protocol, even if only the basics.

Greg,

There is a net/http.e. It could use a little clean up as it relies on external variables for state information, but it supports GET/POST requests. There is a method that is commented out that also supports GET/POST with a cookie.

In the end, it would be nice to have:

net/http.e 
net/smtp.e 
net/pop3.e 
net/imap.e 
net/ftp.e 
net/time.e 

but, it'll take a little time to get that far.

net/http.e 
net/smtp.e 
net/pop3.e 
net/imap.e 
net/ftp.e 
net/time.e 

I disagree, it will take a lot of time arguing about how it's done than any actual code writing.

I just loaded a stub file with some FTP routines to recent user contributions. It should show up in an hour or two. It will have to be reworked slightly for your own project, but the basic functionality is there. If anyone feels like reformatting it to work in the standard library, be my guest.

I wasn't saying arguing over anything in network libraries is different.

My pov is that just this year i have downloaded over 5 million files the way i argued was ok, with no problems, and i was the bad one and my code wasn't acceptable. I was <spit> spoofing</spit> and evil. But look in the network code released with Eu4, in http.e, and Eu reports it is Internet Explorer(tm) by default!

And along with that, the passive "someone asked you be banned" from irc channel #Euphoria, because my isp disconnects me if there's any lightning in the area. So don't ask me for upgrading irc.e to Eu4 when i am not even allowed to use the Eu irc channel. Despite it working great for many years, i'm sure the irc code is disgusting and evil and will get me banned from somewhere else if i submit it.

Ditto translating the mirc code to email.e, or mud/mush.e, i don't need the arguing. I feel the entire eu dev community flipped a loaded coin and came down against me on http.e: no don't spoof the referer, but let's spoof the user-agent!

useless, by popular request.
