MFS_FTP Error message while starting up

[Audiophile]

I was trying to run MFS_FTP on both of my DTivo's... TO make long story short, this is the error message I'm getting on both of them. They are both about 80% full. The message comes about 30 seconds after starting the script. (mfs_ftp.tcl) MFS_FTP use to run about 4 months ago. I'm not sure why it stopped.


can't read "info(1112137,rec_filename)": no such variable
while executing
"lappend info(rec_filenames) "$info($fsid,rec_filename)""

I've applied all required patches to the base install. Still nothing. Does anyone have any thoughts? It's a very strange error message!

Any ideas?

Have you tried this (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?p=253232#post253232)? Just put in your mfs_ftp folder.

Funny,

I downloaded it a week ago, but I've never tried it. I will give it a try tonight. I found it funny that I just have to put it into the folder.

DREZ,

I tried that file... Nothing. I'm not sure how that file would be used. If I just drop it into the folder. Wouldn't I have to call it some how?

Does anyone have any other ideas? I've searched everywhere!

mfs_ftp is designed for loading patchfiles. If you look through the mfs_ftp.tcl file, you'll see that when it is executed it loads itself and then looks for patchfiles named p1.tcl, p2.tcl, etc...

All you need to do it put the p2.tcl file in the same directory as mfs_ftp.tcl and run mfs_ftp (if it is already running, you need to stop it and then restart it).

The p#.tcl files are often complete rewrites of exisiting mfs_ftp procedures. MFS_FTP replaces (in memory) its original procedure(s) with the ones from the p#.tcl file. You can renumber the p# filename to the order you wish them to load, especially if there are conflicting/competing procedures.

One confusing matter is that there have been a number of patches released over the years named p2.tcl.

Narf, what about the newer patches you reference here (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=281255&postcount=1227)? I don't think the p[x].tcl are no longer 'the latest', are they?

Updated: Nevermind, I didnt follow the link in the 2nd or 3rd post talking about the problems with a large number of file uploads.
