SOCKS4 proxy server sometimes rejects FTP data connection?
The FTP Extended Passive Mode (EPSV) continues to be both a solution to problems AND the cause of problems. The Chilkat FTP2 component will automatically use EPSV (as opposed to PASV) if it detects the FTP server supports EPSV. This is generally a good thing to do, and often solves problems. However, occasionally it can be the cause of problems. […]

From Wikipedia: It is possible to get direct IMAP access without signing up for paid access nor using software like YPOPs! or FreePOPs. Yahoo! operates IMAP and secure IMAP servers (imap.mail.yahoo.com in particular), which are globally accessible. However they require a specific, non-standard IMAP command to be sent before login is done, namely: “ID (“GUID” “1”)”. Using Chilkat IMAP, you […]
SFTP OpenFile fails with “Folder not found” from SFTP Server
If the SSH/SFTP server responds with a “Folder not found” error in response to calling OpenFile with a remote filepath is just a filename with no path part, then try prepending “./” to the filepath. For example: success = sftp.OpenFile(“test.txt”, “writeOnly”, “createTruncate”); If this fails with a “Folder not found”, then modify your code to this: success = sftp.OpenFile(“./test.txt”, “writeOnly”, […]
