Summary

Set transfer type to ASCII file transfer.

Syntax

Boolean Ascii ()

Description

The Ascii method sets the file transfer type to ASCII. That is, the server converts carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) pairs to line feeds during put or append operations and line feeds are expanded into carriage return and line feed pairs during get operations. The ASCII mode conversion is normally used to convert text files to a format suitable for text editors on the destination machine.

The Ascii method takes no parameters and returns a boolean. If the transfer type can be successfully set to ASCII type file transfer, then the method returns True; otherwise, it returns False. The application should ensure that the method was successfully executed by checking the return value. The method also sets the LastResult property. The value of the LastResult property can be checked to determine if any error occurred.

Calling this method is equivalent to setting the TransferType property to TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII.

This method can be called at any time except during a file transfer.

Example

Result = FTPClient.Ascii ()

"The night before I went on summer holiday we had to make some 'last minute' configuration changes to approx. 300 routers, a tedious job to do manually with telnet. We went along with MS Excel containing a list of IP-adresses to the routers, and the VIT telnet-component. One hour later the VBA-application (small is beautiful) was working, and after another hour all of our routers were updated with the new configuration. I just say a big "Thanks" to you all for a good sleep that night."
