Summary

Set transmission mode to block mode.

Syntax

Boolean BlockMode ()

Description

The method changes the transmission mode to block mode. Before this function is called the user needs to set the BlockSize property. Default value of BlockSize property is 4096.

When a connection is opened, it defaults to STREAM mode. If you whish to initiate a transfer in block mode you must call this method prior to calling the PutFileWithRestart or the GetFileWithRestart methods.

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

Example

Result = FTPClient.BlockMode ()

Note

Note that the majority of FTP servers that support the Restart following a failed transfer option ONLY support STREAM mode. This means if you make use of this feature, your application must be able to handle the situations where block mode is supported.

"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."
