Quitting an 57 existing ftp session is done by Close</b>. All other commands can 58 only be used in an opened ftp session else an error will occured. 59 The ftp package includes file and directory manipulating commands for 60 remote sites. To do the same stuff to the local site the built-in tcl 61 commands like "cd" or "file <em>command</em>" are the best choice.</p> 62 63 Two state variables controls the output of ftp. Setting VERBOSE</b> 64 to "1" forces to show all responses from the remote server. The default value is "0". 65 Setting DEBUG</b> to "1" enables debugging to show all the return code, states 66 and "real" ftp commands. The default value is "0". 67 68 <p>The procedure <b>DisplayMsg</b> is used to show the different messages from 69 the ftp session. It is simple declared in ftp and must be overwritten 70 by the programmer to make it more comfortable. A state variable for different 71 states assigned to different colors is recommended by the author. For 72 example:</p> 73 74 <pre>.msg.text tag configure error -foreground red 75.msg.text tag configure data -foreground brown 76.msg.text tag configure control -foreground blue 77 78namespace ftp { 79 proc DisplayMsg {s msg {state ""}} { 80 switch $state { 81 data {.msg.text insert end "$msg\n" data} 82 control {.msg.text insert end "$msg\n" control} 83 error {.msg.f.text insert end "$msg\n" error} 84 } 85 } 86}</pre> 87 </dd> 88 </dl></dd> 89 90 <dd><font face="Arial,Helvetica" size="+1" color="##ff0000"><b>BUGS</b></font></dd> 91 <dd><dl> 92 <dd> 93 Correct execution of many commands depends upon proper behavior by the remote server, network 94 and router configuration.<p> 95 96 An update command placed in the procedure DisplayMsg run into persistent errors or infinite loops. 97 The solution to this problem is to use "update idletasks", rather than a single update. 98 </dd> 99 </dl></dd> 100 101</dl> 102</p> 103<p align="left"><hr noshade size="1"><font face="Arial,Helvetica" size="-1">© 1999 <a href="mailto:Steffen.Traeger@t-online.de">Steffen Traeger</a></font></p> 104</body> 105</html> 106 107 108
