An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property

[dfetrow410]

I am getting the following error on "rec "

rec = TheFile1.SendCommandFile("RCVFILE " + TheArrayVal,10000000 * 10);

public int SendCommandFile(string theCommand, int timeOut)
{
rc1 = RoboFTPSession.RoboSendCommand(theCommand, timeOut * 10);
finderror(rc1);
return rc1;
}

Make the method static or create an instance of the class before calling the
method. Just like the error indicates.

Because SendCommandFile is an instance method, you can't call it using
the class name. You have to make a particular instance of TheFile1 and
then call the method on that instance.

TheFile1 myFile = new TheFile1(... whatever arguments are required
....);
rec = myFile.SendCommandFile("RCVFILE " + TheArrayVal, 10000000 * 10);

I do. here is the code.....
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
Utilities TheFile1 = new Utilities();
TheFile1.StartSession("xxx-FTP", 1, 0, "");
TheFile1.SendCommand("FTPLOGON \"ftp.xxxxxx.com\" /user=xxxx
/pw=xx", 10 * 10);
TheFile1.SendCommand("CD \"C:\\files\\listing\"", 100 * 10);
TheFile1.SendCommand("FTPCD \"test\"", 100 * 10);
TheFile1.SendCommand("FTPLIST \"listing of new_dir.txt\" \"*.*\"",
1000 * 10);
TheFile1.parseFile("C:/files/listing/listing of new_dir.txt");

ArrayList TheArray = TheFile1.FileNameArray;
//string TheArray = TheFile1.FileNameArray.ToString();
for(int i = 0; i< TheArray.Count; i++)
{
rec = TheFile1.SendCommandFile("RCVFILE " + TheArrayVal,10000000 *
10);
}
// TheFile1.SendCommand("RCVFILE \"*.*\" /delete", 10000000 * 10);
TheFile1.SendCommand("RCVFILE \"*.*\"", 10000000 * 10);
TheFile1.SendCommand("STOP", 10 * 10);
TheFile1.SendCommand("FTPLOGOFF", 10 * 10);
TheFile1.EndSession();

TheFile1.viewFileNames();
}
catch(Exception)
{

}
}

Hi,

rec = TheFile1.SendCommandFile("RCVFILE " + TheArrayVal,10000000 *
10);

where is rec declared?
What about TheArrayVal ?

I'll bet it's declared in the class that main is declared in. That's
a classic console app error meaning he didn't declare rec as

private static SomeObject rec;

How do I know this? I screw up and do it all the time.
