Using idFTP to upload files

I'm trying to upload file using the the idFTP component and have defined what I can see as the essential properties as such:

  FTPClient.Host  := tblFtpFTPHost.AsString;
  FTPClient.Username := tblFTPUsername.AsString;
  FTPClient.Password := tblFTPPassword.AsString;
  FTPClient.Port     := tblFTPPort.AsInteger;

However when I run the command -

  FTPClient.Connect;

It will fail with the following error message:

  Project Uploader.exe raised exception class EIdPortRequired with message ''.

Am I not providing the information to the correct properties? Do I need another component on my form to allow me to upload files?

I'm currently using Delphi XE as my IDE.

Thanks.

Solution

  • It seems that your port value is 0. This is the only place where Indy throws this exception: 

    procedure TIdTCPClientCustom.Connect;
begin
  // Do not call Connected here, it will call CheckDisconnect
  if Connected then begin
    EIdAlreadyConnected.Toss(RSAlreadyConnected);
  end;

  if Host = '' then begin
    EIdHostRequired.Toss('');
  end;
  if Port = 0 then begin
    EIdPortRequired.Toss('');
  end;
 ...

    Please check that the port value is not 0.
