TypeError with server.init

[LarryTru]

Hello,

I want to change the default userid and password for the ftp and telnet services.

I tried (via REPL) this example lifted directly from the Quick Reference page:

Code: Select all

from network import server

# init with new user, password and seconds timeout
server = server.init(login=('user', 'password'), timeout=60)

but I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: argument num/types mismatch

The server page specifies:

server.init(*, login=('micro', 'python'), timeout=300)

I'm not sure what the wildcard is supposed to signify here; something important?


I tried to go to the source code to investigate, but could't locate it after a few minutes of looking. Probably right under my nose, but effectively invisible to me at this time.

Any help appreciated!

Thx,

Larry

BTW, I am using v1.1.0

Hi Larry,

The init method is an instance method, so you need to construct the object first (see the constructor reference).

So, the example on the quick reference page is wrong and needs to be corrected I assume?

I'm still confused about exactly what is happening with this class and methods. Does creating and initializing a server object with the server class create a new server or does it "connect" to the one that is already running in WiPy?

Thx,

Larry

FYI, I was able to get the Telnet and FTP services to use my own userid and password.

I used this code in boot.py to do it:

Code: Select all

# Import Server Class
from network import server

# Initialize Telnet & FTP services with credentials
srvr_obj = server()
srvr_obj.init(login=('MyUserID', 'MyPassword'), timeout=600)

The documentation for this on the "Quick Reference" page is definitely wrong and I'm still not sure if this is modifying the pre-existing services or creating new ones. But it does work.
