FTPRemoteFileList
  

FTPRemoteFileList is analogous to a ListView, and displays a list of remote files and directories available on an FTP server for download.

It is a .NET component intended for use in building GUI FTP client applications that require a display of the remote files available.

When an instance of FTPRemoteFileList is placed on a form, it will automatically detect an instance of ExFTPConnection (or SecureFTPConnection, available in edtFTPnet/PRO only).

When a connection has been established to the FTP server, a listing of the current remote working directory will be displayed. Clicking on a filename displayed in the list will cause the file to be downloaded to the current local working directory of the connection.

FTPRemoteFileList also supports drag and drop in conjunction with FTPLocalFileList. If files are dragged from an instance of FTPRemoteFileList and dropped on an instance of FTPLocalFileList, they will be downloaded to the current local directory, and the file list refreshed.

Renaming of remote files is also supported by the standard single click mechanism, and remote files and directories can be deleted via the delete key. A warning prompt is displayed before the deletion occurs.

Download, rename and delete are also available as right mouse click menu items.

See the How to build a GUI FTP client (without code) topic for a worked example.
