Hi,
I am using Indy 9 with BDS 2006 but have found a problem with the
ftp module when I use IdFTP1->List(SL,"",false); If there is
nothing in the folder it crashes. What can I do to avoid this?
Cheers,
David

anything that would help me.
If the server gives the wrong response to IdFTP1->List(SL,"",false);
for an empty folder, how can I detect this and continue,
ignoring the List(), which would then be unnecessary?

should be thrown. That being the case you need to use try/catch to catch
the exceptions and deal with them accordingly.
If an exception isn't thrown, you should check the response code that
is returned and determine your action from there.

exactly what the server is sending.

to set it out. Could you possibly give me a code example.

David,
Without knowing the exact exception that's being thrown, I can only
give you a general try catch example. Once you get the exception
name I would only catch that exception so you can deal with any
others that may show up accordlingly.
try
{
IdFTP1->List(SL, "", false);
}
catch (Exception &e)
{
// This will catch every exception and handle them the same
// way. If you have different exceptions coming up, you need to
// catch them separately by using the proper names.
// IE: catch (EIdSocketError &e) or catch (EIdProtocolReplyError)
// If you need to do something special, put that code here.
// otherwise the error message will disappear. Please remember
// that the error will still be shown if you're using the de{*word*81}.
}
Regards,
Tom
 

Thanks Tom,
That seems to have solved the problem.
Cheers,
David

Ive downloaded that and got it going. In the meantime I just put
the List() into a try/catch and allowed it to ingore the
return when there was an empty folder.
Now I can check the return and make it more specific.
Thanks for your help.
David
