Hello,
I am building an automatic FTP Client using Delphi7. Testing all is working
fine from my machine. On another machine a changedir is returning "CWD not
defined". Does anyone know why this error is being displayed and is there a
solution to get the changedir working?
Thanks for all your help.

handler has been provided on the server side. Directory operations are
platform-dependant, but Indy is a platform-independant library.
Platform-dependant operations have to be handled by the application's own
code. In the case of TIdFTPServer specifically, if you don't want to write
your own directory processing code, then try assigning the server's
FileSystem property to one of Indy's FileSystem components.

Thanks for your reply.
I am connecting to a power system relay device that supports the FTP
protocol. I don't think it is an TIdFTPServer.
My application connects to the FTP server just fine. When it tries to
change to the following directory: /user/ftp/tesla/record it gets the error
"CWD not defined". The fun thing is if I use an interface application and
change to each directory separately it works fine. I was thinking to use
the changedir for each directory defined, such as changedir(/user), then
changedir(/ftp), then changedir(/tesla) and finally changedir(/record).
Have you ever encountered an problems like this.
The problem is my application is a stand alone app, when a messagebox comes
up it locks up the whole system indefinitely.
Thanks for all your help.

thrown? If EIdProtocolReplyError, then what you are seeing is not an Indy
error at all. EIdProtocolReplyError means that the error that is being sent
by the FTP server, in which case the server is telling your client that it
does not implement the CWD command at all.
handle the errors programmably.
