How to get a directory listing
|
|
There are two basic ways to get a list of the files in a particular directory on an FTP server.
The simpler way gets the names of the files using the GetFiles() method:
string[] files = ftpConnection.GetFiles();
This results in the files array containing the name of the files and directories in the current
working directory on the server.
Often more information that just the name of the file/directory is required. In such cases, the GetFileInfos() method should be used:
FTPFile[] fileDetails = ftpConnection.GetFileInfos();
This method returns an array of FTPFile objects containing
information about the files in the
directory - details such as the size of the file and whether or not it is a directory.
If a listing of a directory other than the current working directory is required then the relative or
absolute path may be passed to either method. For example:
string[] files = ftpConnection.GetFiles(directoryPath);
