Connected?

 [1/2] from: sunandadh:aol at: 26-Dec-2002 17:50


Connected? always return true on my machine (win98) even when I'm not. I want to check if the user is online before doing an ftp. I can surround the code with an try block (I'd do that anyway) but that takes a long time to fail if not connected. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sunanda.

This is a problem that has come up before. Holger has said that the most reliable way to determine if you are online or not is to actually try to connect. Anton.
