Socket Error 10038 using Rebex.Net.Ftp.PutFile()

Question

Hello Rebex Community,
I use Rebex.Net.Ftp.PutFile () and get the following error message:
Rebex.Net.FtpException: Socket error 10038 occured.
Can it be that I use the library incorrectly or what can be the mistake?
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely
Saphymo

Hello,
Socket error code 10038 is WSAENOTSOCK, which indicates that "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket". This error is known to occur on .NET Compact Framework when a connection to a network has been lost. Does this apply to your situation?

Good day,
a disconnect can happen in my case. Normally the application then goes into the timeout. I thought that the socket error code has something to do with improper programming of rebex pages. That's why I asked for a precaution ...

The error code is actually contradictory (an operation on a .NET socket failing with "not a socket" error), but that's what the underlying OS reports. However, we'll at least try enhance our library to raise an exception with a more meaningful message in this case.

Rebex FTP 2018 R3 and later report this as "Connection has been lost."
