I added the following CLI call but FCConnect() returns NAFTPC\_CONNECTION\_RESET every time. Anyone with an idea?

Thanks,

P.S. How do I preserve tabs in a [code] insert?

```auto

        if( n &lt; 3 || n &gt; 4 ) return 1;

        strcpy(szFilename, args[0]);
        if( !isdigit(*args[1]) )
        {
                hostent *he = _gethostbyname(args[1]);
                if( !he )
                {

Hi Erik!

some basic questions:  
-are you sure the FTP server is responding? can you connect to it manually with some other client?  
-can you connect to it via NETOS with a simple app with the FCConnect() parameters hard coded?

1. I can FTP from the Windows command line without at hitch.
2. I hard coded the entries and I still get the same results.

Don’t know why, but I replaced the router/gateway and it worked.
