I'm using delphi6, and our company don't want to upgrade it,
and I found Tidftp lack the MLSD command,
So what is the free ftp component you are using now?
ps : I searched for one on Google, but I don't know which is stable and standard.
I haven't used Synapse, but I hear good things and it looks good. The SVN on Sourceforge has much newer code.
Support for FTP protocol (support many
firewalls including custom ones,
upload and dowload resuming, transfer
between two FTP servers). Implemented
directory list parsing too. SSL/TLS
support.
Support for TFTP protocol (client and
server).
Beyond that I have had good luck with Indy's TidFTP, although I have used Indy 9 more than 10.
BTW, I don't know about the MLSD command specifically, but it seems like there was a way to send custom commands to the server with Indy. I know I actually used it to implement a more detailed directory listing, so that may have been the MLSD then . . ..
Done!
download the newest Indy component, and TidFtp is good to use!

I would love to be able to update my NodeMCU ESP8266-01 OTA, since they're located in awkward spots. I'm by no means an expert regarding the ESP or NodeMCU, but I haven't been able to find anything recent about OTA updates. I found some discussions about it going back to 2015, but it never seems to have been implemented.
I use my ESP with NodeMCU to control a PWM dimmer. I upload a precompiled version of NodeMCU with the NodeMCU Firmware FLasher, and then use ESPlorer to upload a custom lua file called 'init.lua'. I'm not even sure if this is the proper way to do stuff, but it works.
So the main question: Has OTA updating been implemented, or is it possible in some way?
Just to clarify, I don't think I want to update the firmware. As I understand it, firmware is what you build yourself, or on a website like https://nodemcu-build.com. I want to update the lua files that run on the ESP, that you normally upload through a program like ESPlorer.
I found some discussions about it going back to 2015, but it never seems to have been implemented.
Indeed, firmware OTA is not available yet. However, as you probably know, the need for firmware OTA is much lower with the NodeMCU firmware than e.g. with the Arduino platform. I'd argue that you're much less likely in need to replace/upgrade/extend the firmware with its built-in modules than the application code that runs on top of it.
Fortunately, it's quite simple to replace one or several Lua scripts (compiled or uncompiled) on the device and reboot it. All the web and cloud IDEs listed at https://frightanic.com/iot/tools-ides-nodemcu/ offer this. There's even a pending PR that'll bring FTP support to NodeMCU.
For a complete Lua provisioning system take a look at what #TerryE provided at https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/tree/master/lua_examples/luaOTA
I've attempted to use the two Web IDEs listed in the link provided in Marcel Stör's answer, but I honestly failed to understand how to use either IDE. they also seemed like they weren't exactly what I was looking for, and required a server to connect to, or an extra program, which I wanted to avoid.
Edit: Apparently, I did end up using one of the two Web IDEs in the list. Since it's been a while since I did all this, it's a bit fuzzy in my head.
I eventually stumbled upon this GitHub page, which seemed to provide exactly what I was looking for: The ability to access the Lua files on the ESP through a webbrowser. I have personally changed the ide.lua file around completely, since I needed to call functions from it in the init.lua script. However, I think you can just upload the ide.lua script to the ESP, and add a line containing dofile("ide.lua") to your init.lua file.
If anyone is interested in my changes to, or my implementation of the ide.lua script, you can take a look at my repo Timmiej93 / QuinLED / Program code.
In fact there's a class for that to implement OTA i the NodeMCU its called the ESPhttpUpdate you can refer to ESPhttpUpdate for further details.
I'm new to Objective C and Xcode, but was wondering how to connect to a SFTP within my application. I've successfully connected to FTPs before, but was hoping to keep more secure in the future. When connecting with a regular computer you need a special SFTP client, so I wasn't sure what steps I'd have to take to connect within an iOS App.
Also, what are your opinions of SSH FTPs Vs. SFTPs?
There are plenty of open source libraries like NMSSH or DLSFTPClient. Please, don't use proprietary components, support open source.
Your best bet is to download a library and put that into your app. I would recommend Chilkat. He has wrote a lot of stuff for sftp.
Good luck.
look at some of these (http://www.example-code.com/ios/sftp.asp)
I have this unusual requirement from a client, and I am not quite sure how to proceed.
My client needs to select a folder from his computer in IE and POST the files within that folder to the server. I was thinking of an ActiveX control. Could you point me to the right way? Thank you.
It's a bit of a tricky question; You can certainly upload files using WinHttp or WinInet (forget which works better for it) but you could run into issues with proxy settings.
If I were you I'd write a plugin using FireBreath, which would then work on all major browsers instead of just IE (works both as an ActiveX control and as a NPAPI plugin). There is a library for FireBreath that though poorly documented allows you to upload files via HTTP using libcurl and openssl, or you could figure out how to do it with WinInet/WinHTTP (do some google searches, several possible leads come up).
I'm looking for a programmatic interface to the Solaris ifconfig(1M) command.
Apparently Linux has the getifaddrs(3) command, but as far as I can tell this has not been ported to Solaris.
Short of attempting to use the code at the link above, is there any way to determine ifconfig(1M)-type data (network interface presence, state, etc.) without forking the system command and parsing the output?
I have an implementation here, IPv4-only based on SIOCGIFCONF ioctl()'s and IP family agnostic version using SIOCGLIFCONF:
http://code.google.com/p/openpgm/source/browse/trunk/openpgm/pgm/getifaddrs.c
Tested on SPARC/Solaris 10 and x86/OpenSolaris 2008.11 & 2009.06, LGPL 2.1 license.
getifaddrs() was recently integrated into the source code for future OpenSolaris & Solaris releases, but that doesn't help your code run on current releases:
6731945 need BSD getifaddrs() API
OpenSolaris source: usr/src/lib/libsocket/inet/getifaddrs.c
Until then you'll need to use the SIOCGLIFCONF ioctls, which you should find lots of examples of in open source code, including the link you posted.
Real men use ioctl ;)
Take a look at if(7P).
Can someone please give me a step by step on how to build an installation disk for my Delphi 2010 application?
I have tried both InstallAware Express Edition which comes with Delphi 2010 but keeps on giving me error message for it continue to look for *120.bpl instead of *140.bpl
I have also tried InnoSetup with ISTool but fail to work, which I believe I am not setting it up properly.... (e.g. failed to include all required packages)
My Apps is a simple database enquiry which I used dbExpress to connect to my ms-sql database.
I have also tried switching the flag in Delphi 2010 for "Built with Packages", no luck also...
Please help....
I am leaning toward using InnoSetup instead, but can someone tell me what is the typical set up is like... much appreciated.
Cheers.
The best place for support on an innosetup script, is the innosetup newsgroups. If you ask your question there, they would want to know more detail about what you are trying to do. Your app is going to set up some database stuff, so a lot more detail is required if you want an answer.
Innosetup is definitely is the easiest and fastest route to a setup.exe, which when placed on a CD, would make an "install CD". (Who uses CDs anymore anyways?)
In Thunderbird/OutlookExpress/WindowsMail, add an nntp server called news.jrsoftware.org,
and subscribe to the newsgroup "Jrsoftware.innosetup.code" and "jrsoftware.innosetup", and ask your question. Post your script. Show your error messages. Explain your database configuration strings, and how you are installing any dbExpress runtime components, if any apply to your application.
dbexpress in Delphi 2010 don't need nothing to be registered when deployed.
You simply need to create a folder with:
your executable.
all the required packages.
libmysql.dll
dbxmys.dll
midas.dll (if you are not using midaslib in your uses clause)
This is a easy work for an installer.
We've used Wise Installation for many years. Very easy to build install scripts. Works great.
