Arexx with AmiFTP

Hello i am trying to make a small arexx program?delivering me the content of a remote directory

I

/* */
OPTIONS RESULTS
ADDRESS AMIFTP

GETATTR STEM fi. FILELIST /* Get information about folder */
(I used also GETATTR fi. FILELIST)
SAY fi.VERSION

Address COMMAND

SetEnv '.AFld.Ttl' fi.FILELIST.COUNT
SetEnv '.AFld.N1' fi.FILELIST.1.NAME
SetEnv '.AFld.S1' fi.FILELIST.1.SIZE
SetEnv '.AFld.T1' fi.FILELIST.1.TYPE

the environmental variables do contain FI.FILELIS.COUBNT etc
the SAY command delivers FI.VERSION

i am not aware of doing something wrong.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

I've been using ARexx to control AmiFTP for a while with
good results... I extracted a bit of code and this seems
to work printing out a files list:

Are you trying to set an Environment Variable
called ".AFld.Ttl" to the count of files? Maybe
the problem you're having is just getting the
contents of your Arexx variables out?

Instead of:

You might try putting your whole command line into
into a variable and then using that:

Good luck,

Hi, i did not notice your reply earlier.

The problem was really in how the stem variable was named . (something with the '?' dot.)
GETATTR STEM fi FILELIST //OK
GETATTR STEM fi. FILELIST // not OK
I copied this from a similar program using YAM.

In fact i am using the '.AFld.Ttl' environmental variables because they can easily be picked up with Gui4Cli in which i write more complicated programs.

Thanks for responding
