[Babeldoc-devel] Re: FTP Scanner

[Dejan K. <dej...@ya...>]

I think you should put setFileType line AFTER if
statement, that is:
        if (ftpClient.login(ftpUsername, ftpPassword))
{
          if
(!ftpClient.changeWorkingDirectory(ftpFolder)) {
            ftpClient.disconnect();
            throw new
ScannerException(I18n.get("scanner.FtpScanner.error.notReachable"));
          }
        } else {
          ftpClient.disconnect();
          throw new
ScannerException(I18n.get("scanner.FtpScanner.error.login"));
        }
	  ftpClient.setFileType(FTPClient.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);	


I am curently at home and have no Linux FTP servers
around to try this code. I will try it tomorrow, bu I
think it shouold work. Your code seems wrong to me
since you try to set file type in else statament,
which you can reach if you haven't logged in
correctly.

Anyway, this should be just workround, since we should
have this as configurable option. Could you put this
as a feature suggestion at Babeldoc SourceForge page.
I will try to implement it ASAP.

P.S. Please use mailing list for this type of
questions since it could be useful for others too.
