I am going to use wxFTP to connect to ftp server and get current working directory with this code:

Code: Select all

	wxFTP ftp;
	ftp.SetUser(wxT("username"));
	ftp.SetPassword(wxT("password"));

	if (ftp.Connect("ipaddres"))
	{
		std::cout << "Connected" << std::endl;
		wxString str = ftp.Pwd(); <<------- ERROR: string iterator not dereferencable
	}
But when i use

Code: Select all

ftp.Pwd()
i have error (see screenshot). What am i doing wrong?

If you break into the debugger, what does "m_lastResult" contain?

What does "p" point to at the moment of the crash?

It looks that the ftp server returns something the parser is not prepared for. If that's the case, please open a bug report at: http://trac.wxwidgets.org

It's a little hard to tell what exactly is going on without being able to trace through it myself. But i looks like a bug in the parsing code. So i'd suggest to open a bug report.

Thanks. I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon. So you better find a workaround or try to fix it yourself.

Oleg,
What's you OS/compiler/wx version?
Can you step inside the offending function and see where exactly the crash occurred?

Thank you.
