Hello All,

I'm trying to setup an ftp connection using Libcurl 7.19.2.

What I want to do is a CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY in order to use the recv function.

My init :

curlResult = curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL);

//Create easy Curl object
m_curlFtpHandle = curl_easy_init();

  //set curl Parameters if handle is valid
  if(m_curlFtpHandle)
  {
     curl_easy_setopt(m_curlFtpHandle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE , 1);
     curl_easy_setopt(m_curlFtpHandle, CURLOPT_STDERR, stdout);

     //Set url
     curlResult = curl_easy_setopt(m_curlFtpHandle, CURLOPT_URL, m_sUrl);

     //Set username and password
     curlResult = curl_easy_setopt(m_curlFtpHandle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user:pw");

                        
                        
      curlResult = curl_easy_setopt(m_curlFtpHandle, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV, 1);

      //Only connect
      curlResult = curl_easy_setopt(m_curlFtpHandle, CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, 1L);

  }
  else
  {
      //error
  }

   curlResult = curl_easy_setopt(m_curlFtpHandle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM,
m_uiStartPos);

   curlResult = curl_easy_perform(m_curlFtpHandle);
    if(curlResult != 0)
    {
       //error handling
    }

I get a connection with my ftp server. But the easy_perform function
returns after 60 sec when a timeout has occurred.
I'm using an url -> ftp://192.168.1.1/x/y/z/movie.avi

output of libcurl:
* About to connect() to 192.168.8.160 port 21 (#0)
* Trying 192.168.8.160... * connected
* Connected to 192.168.8.160 (192.168.8.160) port 21 (#0)

* Entry path is '/home/user'
* Remembering we are in dir "x/y/z/140-8channel8.mpg"
* FTP response timeout
* control connection looks dead
* Closing connection #0
* Timeout was reached
Failed easy perform curl : 28

And now I don't understand why i cannot create a connect only
connection ? is it something in my code
or a setting in my ftp server or ...

Best regards,

Jacob
