ABOR command

D4n · 01-21-2003, 12:41 PM

It seems when aborting a transfer FlashFXP sends the command:

Ã¿Ã´Ã¿Ã¿ABOR

rather than just ABOR. This is interfering with programming my ftp server. Any ideas about this?

227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,xx,x,xxx,xx,xxx)
RETR xxxxx.xxx
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for xxxxx.xxx (1500000 bytes).
(soft abort)
ABOR
426 Data connection closed, file transfer xxxxx.xxx aborted.
226 ABOR command successful.

ABOR works well for me (using latest FlashFXP version, build 908). Make sure that you are using a legit FlashFXP version and not a cracked/modified one.

Thats whats displayed in the status window but extra data is sent. Anyway, I have found out the meaning of this data and it isnt a bug.

This is not a bug in FlashFXP. Although I have never used it, and I don't know how good it is, this is definitely NOT
a bug in that client.

The yoyo is OOB (out of band data) - more specifically, the Telnet "SYNCH" command: {255, 244, 255, 242}

This tells the FTP server to consider the ABOR command as "urgent", and
process it immediately. It is part of the FTP RFC.
