21
22 wxFTP can be used to establish a connection to an FTP server and perform all the
23 usual operations. Please consult the RFC 959 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/)
24 for more details about the FTP protocol.
25
26 wxFTP can thus be used to create a (basic) FTP @b client.
27
28 To use a command which doesn't involve file transfer (i.e. directory oriented
29 commands) you just need to call a corresponding member function or use the
30 generic wxFTP::SendCommand() method.
31 However to actually transfer files you just get or give a stream to or from this
32 class and the actual data are read or written using the usual stream methods.
33
34 Example of using wxFTP for file downloading:
35
36 @code
37 wxFTP ftp;
38
39 // if you don't use these lines anonymous login will be used
40 ftp.SetUser("user");
41 ftp.SetPassword("password");
42
43 if ( !ftp.Connect("ftp.wxwidgets.org") )
44 {
45 wxLogError("Couldn't connect");
46 return;
47 }
48
49 ftp.ChDir("/pub/2.8.9");
50 wxInputStream *i = ftp.GetInputStream("wxWidgets-2.8.9.tar.bz2");
51 if ( !in )
52 {
53 wxLogError("Couldn't get the file");
54 }
55 else
56 {
57 size_t size = in->GetSize();
58 char *data = new char[size];
59 if ( !in->Read(data, size) )
60 {
61 wxLogError("Read error: %d", ftp.GetError());
62 }
63 else
64 {
65 // file data is in the buffer
66 ...
67 }
68
69 delete [] data;
70 delete in;
71 }
72
73 // gracefully close the connection to the server
74 ftp.Close();
75 @endcode
76
77 To upload a file you would do (assuming the connection to the server was opened
78 successfully):
79
80 @code
81 wxOutputStream *out = ftp.GetOutputStream("filename");
82 if ( out )
83 {
84 out->Write(...); // your data
85 delete out;
86 }
87 @endcode

90 @category{net}
