Thread: Help with python inside C

I wrote a simple ftp uploader with python, because ftplib is a very simple library, and i wanted to use this script in C but i have no idea, how to do this.
Can you help me? Or can you suggest me an ftp library to use directly on C?
Thanks

Or if you are on Windows, you can use it's built in library...

I tried to use this library but i found some errors

Code:

int SendFTP() {
    
    
    HINTERNET hInternet;
    HINTERNET hFtpSession;
    hInternet = InternetOpen(NULL,INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT,NULL,NULL,0);
    hFtpSession = InternetConnect(hInternet,serverftp , INTERNET_DEFAULT_FTP_PORT,user, password, INTERNET_SERVICE_FTP, 0, 0);
    if(FtpPutFile(hFtpSession,file, namefile, FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY,0) == TRUE){
                               printf("File Sent! ");
                               
                               }
                               
     else{
          printf("Sending Failed..");
          }
     InternetCloseHandle(hFtpSession);
     InternetCloseHandle(hInternet);
}

Dev C++ gave me this response
: In function `SendFTP':
undefined reference to `InternetOpenA@20'
undefined reference to `InternetConnectA@32'
undefined reference to `FtpPutFileA@20'
undefined reference to `InternetCloseHandle@4'
undefined reference to `InternetCloseHandle@4'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It looks like you didn't include wininet.lib in your linker's list.

Also DevC++ is outdated and abandoned. It is entirely likely that it's missing several of the newer libraries...

If you are doing C-99 only (no C++) you should probably update to Pelles C (free, available in both x86 and x64 flavours, resource editors included and the best help file I've ever seen)

If you are doing C-89 and C++ you most likely want to use Code::Blocks with MinGW (C and C++, x86 only, no resource editors, free)

I'm using Dev-C++ and i made #include <wininet.h>
So what is the problem??

You need to tell the compiler to link to the needed library; likely wininet.lib or wininet.a.

CommonTater told you right here:

The header file just tells the compiler about the functions (name, return type, parameter types and count), it doesn't actually provide the implementations (i.e. there's no code). For that you need to tell the linker where to find the wininet.lib functions. But few of us can tell you where to set that up, since as Tater mentioned, Dev-C++ is outdated and abandoned, so few here use it.

In Project->Options->Folders->Library add the path to the folder the library is in.
In Project->Options->Linker add the library name to the list.

The folder Path was already charged, and i added the library wininet.lib to the linkers but i already have the same problem.

it's so weird, i made what you said and now the error changed, now the compiler found some errors in a function that Dev-C++ hadn't found, because the function worked!!
These are the errors:

warning #2027: Missing prototype for 'kp'.
warning #2027: Missing prototype for 'kp'.
warning #2027: Missing prototype for 'sleep'.
warning #2027: Missing prototype for 'SendFTP'.
warning #2096: Missing return value.
