WebDAV upload: error 80072EFE for files >30 kB - 1/4/2007 9:43:51 PM

Hey there,

While trying to find a way to upload files to my WebDAV drive using VBS, I found Jeff Jones' WebDAV upload functions (see below).
These work just fine, but only as long as the repsective file is smaller than ~30 kB.
If the file is any larger, I get the following error message:

quote:

Script: ...\WebUpload.vbs
Line: 24
Char: 3
Error: The connection with the server was terminated abnormally

Code: 80072EFE
Source: msxml3.dll

I have absolutely no clue why that is. WebDAV should have no problems with files over 30 kB, so maybe it's some kind of buffering issue?
I'd greatly appreciate some help on this issue!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Here's Jeff's original source code (originally downloaded from
http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/33124.html), which I have adapted
only by inserting my host's address (https://mediacenter.gmx.net in
this case) and the login data:

I use the below function, with no problem of any file size (until so far no issues)

Thanks for the response!

Your script there seems to work fine (I can't really test it because my WebDAV drives require authentication with username and password, and simply adding those to xml.Open "GET", URL, False doesn't seem to suffice).

However, your script is for downloading, whereas Jeff's is for uploading.
So while they complement each other perfectly (I would have asked about downloading sooner or alter anyway, so thanks for saving me the trouble there :) ), I still can't figure out what's wrong with the 30 kB limit in the upload function...
Would you mind testing it with a 50-200 kB file for me? Maybe it's an error of some sort on my system!?

PS: Would those functions also work behind a proxy (i.e. in the office)?

Hi,

There is one piece missing from Jeff's code: an error trapping routine of sorts that will issue a pop-up message or similar if the SharePoint directory target site is invalid. Do you by chance know anyone, your colleagues, who could help me figure out a way to have the program tell me if the SharePoint directory is invalid or whether the SharePoint posting process failed? Currently, the code simply runs to completion and is �silent.�

I�ve tried e-mailing �Jeff Jones,� the author, but I cannot find his e-mail address, even though his www.hotscript.com post below says to e-mail him with questions.

Thanks,

Sue

I would use BITS. It supports upload / download, resume after disconnect/reboot/pretty much anything. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362813(VS.85).aspx

Ooops forgot, it also supports SSL.

Thanks for that tip. I've never heard of this BITS tool before. It appears I would need to create something from scratch, i.e., write a program? Is that correct? Also, do I need an extra license?

Sorry for these simple questions; I'm just not that familiar with this tool.

Thanks,

No license is required. Download the bitsadmin.exe and execute. It'll give you the help instructions. Then you just need to write a script to launch and monitor.

This might help also. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc740133.aspx

Thanks for that link. It seems if I want to install this tool on my own PC, I'll need to access the XP installation CD. We're on Windows XP. Ugh, not sure if I can secure the CD. I'll have to think about whether I want to go thru the trouble of contacting Desktop Support here at my workplace.

I presume the tool is viable even if I install it on my computer only.

Thanks again,
SL

No need for the CD

Thanks again. Is this tool, then, meant to be a replacement of, or complement to, the WebDAV VB code I'm running?
