Software: Silc toolkit Operating System: Windows xp Installation: source Hi silc-users, I\'ve installed silc toolkit from sources with the provided visual c++ project in order to develop a little program of mine that has to, above other tasks, send one file to a sftp server and take back another. To do so I\'ve tried to use the sftp libraries provided with silc, but i can\'t make them work correctly... After some pains (mainly due to my lack of skill in programming under windows and installing libraries in visual c++) i\'ve installed it, and, with some other littler pains, i\'ve made the test programs work. The only thing that doesn\'t work is, unfortunately, the most important one... The funcion silc_net_create_connection always returned -1, writing on the stderr that it was unable to resolve the ip address I gave. That sounded strange, first of all because I left the standard 127.0.0.1 (and i think that at least localhost should be recognised...), but also because trying different addresses just the same happened. I\'ve tryed ips I can connect to with programs like putty and winscp, so I don\'t really think it\'s addresses\' fault. I\'ve also tryed to switch from name address to ip address, but it was just the same. In the end I tryed to isolate the function silc_net_gethostbyname, but, whatever i passed to it, the return value was always FALSE. Can anyone explain me some possible causes for such a thing? If there is something I have to do (some functions I have to call) before looking for ip-addresses, other than initializing silc and setting it up for windows, please, tell me too. Thank you all P.S. I have not subscribed to ML, will the answer be sent to my e-mail address or what? I\'ve just filled-in the form I found on the website... P.P.S. I\'m sorry for my poor english, it\'s the first time i write on an english ML :) _______________________________________________________________ Info: https://lists.silcnet.org/mailman/listinfo/silc-users Archive: https://lists.silcnet.org/pipermail/silc-users FAQ: http://silcnet.org/support/faq/
