Transfer Engine (SDK) 

2.  

After a Wait() function has timed out, check the STATUS of the transfer   In 

this scenario, use the program (or script) logic to keep trying after a Wait times out 

when the transfer is still in the TRANSFERRING state. In other words, your polling 

for the termination status has timed out, but not necessarily the transfer itself, so you 

keep going. 

In the following example, you wait up to 10 hours for the transfer, and if that times 

out, you check the status of the transfer. If it is still TRANSFERRING, you  o

d  it 

again (please note the last two conditional statements): 

Example 

 Do

     strResult = strataFTP.

Wait(  1, 36000000 )

   Loop While ( strResult <> "CANCELED") and ( strResult <> 

"FINISHED" ) and 

        ( strResult <> "ERROR" ) and ( strResult <> 

"SKIPPED" ) and 

        ( strResult <> "SUSPENDED" ) and ( strResult <> 

"BLOCKED" ) 

 Alternatively, you can take the more p

  ositive outlook of continuing on while the transfer 

task is either WORKING, CONNECTING, or TRANSFERRING: 

Example  

Do

  strResult = strataFTP.

Wait(  1, 36000000 )

   Loop While ( strResult = "TRANSFERRING") or ( strResult 

= "WORKING" ) or 

     ( strResult = "CONNECTING" ) 

3.  Wait forever, or until the transfer reaches some termin t

a ion point. Most transfers 

eventually either FINISH or receive an error from the server; but there is a minor 

chance that the transfer in the queue is perpetually stuck in a "TRANSFERRING" 

state. This strategy might be considered a little riskier than the first two: 

Example 

  strResult = strataFTP.

Wait(  1, 0 )

If you have installed the Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 

Security Patch MS03 033 you may have problems using scripts to connect to secure sites.  

You can get your scripts to work again by moving your certificate file. The CuteFTP 

certificate files generally resi e

d  in a specific user s folder, like: 

C:\Documents and
