Summary
Address type of the destination host.
Description
The FwAddrType property specifies the address type in the Host property. This property must be set before a connection can be established by calling the FwConnect method (or
by changing the Action property to ACTION_FW_). There are three possible ways of specifying a destination address in the Host Property and therefore the FwAddrType property
can have three possible formats:
| FW_ADDR_IP4 |
Address is a version 4 IP address |
| FW_ADDR_DNS |
Address is a DNS style domain name |
| FW_ADDR_IP6 |
Address is a version 6 IP address |
The FwAddrType property must be set to FW_ADDR_IP4 if the application is specifying a Internet address in the dotted decimal notation (198.211.122.133) in the Host
property. If the application wants to specify the machine name or machine name and domain name (for example speedy.distinct.com) as the Host they must set the
FwAddrType property to FW_ADDR_DNS.
Note that the FW_ADDR_IP6 is not supported currently.
This property can be changed at design time and at run time before a connection has been established.
The default value for this property is FW_ADDR_IP4.
Example
Ftp.FwAddrType = FW_ADDR_DNS
Result = Ftp.FwConnect ("sparky.distinct.com", "1080", "speedy.distinct.com", "santa", "north pole", """")
If Result = False Then
MsgBox "Unable to connect to server via a firewall", 64, "Sample Program"
End If
