FTP wouldn't work at first.
AmigaNoob opened this issue · 8 comments
I'm using WHDLoadTool08a.zip
FTP wouldn't work at first. So I edited the default.prefs file, changing line 9
FTP_Folder = Retroplay WHDLoad Packs
to
FTP_Folder = /Retroplay WHDLoad Packs/
Everything works fine then.
That doesn't work. The thought that the author simply missed the root path in the preference file seems a little far-fetched as this would cause an immediate problem for 100% of people testing.
That said, since there's absolutely no debug or FTP status output, it's not possible to tell what's going on at all.
I can say with certainty that the issues aren't firewall related as people keep going on about in the EAB forum.
Is this project dead? The FTP Server is up and responding but it rejects the login. Also, the above mentioned change didn't help.
Connected to grandis.nu.

The project is alive but I'm figuring out how to add http downloads as they will solve the download problems. I'm also adding download by category and support for FAT32 drives 256 file limit.
To fix the current login problem, open the 'default.prefs' file and change the ftp_server line to ftp.grandis.nu. That will fix the current login problems.
I see. Yup, that fixed it. Greatly appreciate it!
Wow, yeah, this program rocks. Reminds me of how I code things always thinking of how to make it easier for the end user.
Top notch!
The file list pane is never populated even after the dat file is supposedly updated after the FTP connection.
If I manually download all the dat zip files, put them in the Dats folder at the same level as the Tool's exe (this is the dat path specified in the source code), these dat files are all deleted after the FTP connection.
I've just uploaded a new version with HTTP support. Please try the new exe and let me know if the connection issues persist.
Worked flawlessly right out of the gate!
Fixed in latest release.
