Compiler FTP Upload Error (Error Code #6)

[NewsArchive]

Trying to add FTP upload to my installer, I get Error Code #6.
Anyone know what I have incorrectly set up?

Hi Sim

I don't know what error #6 ii but I have never had problems with ftp uploads.

1: Make sure that [x] Use PASV mode is checked
2: try disabling your firewall of add your SB??.exe to the whitelist in your
AV/Firewall
3: check the settings you are using match what the ftp server expects.

What John said. It's a simple one-line FtpPutFile() WinINet API call that
uploads file(s). This API fails in your case. Perhaps the password to your
FTP server is incorrect (don't try to upload to a www address, you have to
upload to ftp.yada.com), or the firewall blocks it, or the destination
folder does not allow uploads (e.g. a typical upload location is
ftp.yada.com/puplic_html/yada), etc.

Error Code #6 is System Error Code 6 -> Invalid file handle. It does not
tell us what went wrong.

Yup, got all that now. Fixed!

Only problem remaining is that only the EXE gets transferred.
How can I get the HTM transferred as well?

It only uploads the installation related files (e.g. setup.exe and .0000x
cluster files). It does not upload non-installer related files (e.g. .cvs
or .htm compiler build report files).

Hi Friedrich,

Can it be achieved by adding a "#ftp upload"?

Yes! Just set "Source File" to [OUTPUTDIR]\yada.htm and enable the "Process
after script compilation" option.

Great.

Where do I add #ftp upload code?
It needs to run after the HTM is created, but I cannot identify that in the
script.

You can add it wherever you want because it is executed after the setup.exe
compilation process (see attached screenshot).

I don't understand what is happening, but when I add it at the beginning of
the script, precisely where you put it, the file is FTPd right at the
beginning. See attached JPG.

How do you get this FTP to run at the end, AFTER the exe and htm file are
created?

Do you have "Process after script compilation" checked?

You have to enable the "Process after script compilation" option in
SetupBuilder 10 (see attached screenshot).

Ok, fixed that final compiler error, but still cannot figure out why the
first-time upload before compile.

Any chance you have two instances of #ftp upload from your previous
testing?

No, that is the one and only #ftp statement in my script, but you may have
something there.
I commented out that #ftp and tried recompiling; it still uploads at the
beginning!

Check your "Common Definitions.sbi". Perhaps you have (accidentally) added
it there.

I have now also checked "Process after script compilation".
Now it uploads at the start, successfully, and again, after compile, but
then it fails with "Compiler upload error".

In SetupBuilder v10 (and v8), it looks like this (see attached). It uploads
the installer image(s) and after that it handles the post compilation tasks.

Okay everyone, quit panicking!

Thanks Friedrich and Lee, all fixed. I had a #ftp in the Common
Definitions.sbi as well, now removed, and the FTP runs only once, at the
right time, too!

Anyone know the meaning of: "Compiler FTP Upload Error (Error Code

Never seen this before, script and password hasn't changed!
