Compiling and Linking an FTP API Application

Follow these steps to compile and link the FTP API application using an IBM 32-bit compiler for OS/2:

• To compile your program, enter:

  icc /C myprog.c
  

• To create an executable program, you can enter:

  For VisualAge C++

  ilink /NOFREEFORMAT myprog,myprog.exe,NULL,
  ftpapi.lib
  

Notes:

• The FTP API is not re-entrant. If you are using a multithreaded program, you must serialize the access to the APIs.

• For more information about the compile and link options, and dynamic link libraries, see the User's Guide provided with your compiler.

• The FTP API can connect to an FTP server using a specific port rather than the well-known port. Code the port number as part of the host name specification, such as ftpget ("server1 1234", ...) to connect to server1 by port 1234.
