Hi,

We're investigating libcurl 7.9.2 to implement basic FTP transfers between
an embedded application running QNX 6/Neutrino 2.11 operating system and a
Windows NT maintenance PC (running Microsoft's FTP Server). So far I've only
considered FTP GET, but every time it runs, it crashes with SIGSEGV in the
curl_easy_perform(..) function.

I have successfully built/run the equivalent under an NT simulation
environment.

The code excerpt follows. srcFile and dstFile are char strings of the file's
remote source and local destination. destination is a char string of the
internet address of the NT PC (numeric dot format). As far as I can see, its
a very simple thing to do. debugPrintf is a simple debug print function for
our embeddded environment, i.e ignore it...

ftp_get_function (char *srcFile, char *dstFile, char *destination)
{
   FILE *ftp;
   char url[128], *c;
   int i;
   CURL *curl;
   CURLcode res;
 
   // open the local (destination) file
   ftp = fopen(dstFile,"wb");

   debugPrintf(1,"CURL->easy init...");
   curl = curl_easy_init();
   if(curl)
      {
      sprintf(url,"ftp://%s%s", destination, srcFile);
      debugPrintf(1,"OK\nCURL->url = %s\n",url);
      curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url);
      curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILE, ftp);
      curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC, 1);

      debugPrintf(1,"CURL->perform...");
      res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
      debugPrintf(1,"%i\n",res);

      curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
      }
   else
      debugPrintf(1,"FAILED\n");

   fclose(ftp);
}

An example call to this would be

   ftp_get_function("/pmu/database.db", "/database/localdb.db",
"100.0.0.2");

Regarding the build process under QNX 6, I've built it as a static library.
Also, I had to disable the configuration checks for gethostbyname() in
socket and nsl libraries. Other than that, libcurl built with no worries,
and linked quite happily into our application.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
