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 const char *filename = "wxWidgets-2.8.9.tar.bz2";
51 int size = ftp.GetFileSize(filename);
52 if ( size == -1 )
53 {
54 wxLogError("Couldn't get the file size for \"%s\"", filename);
55 }
56
57 wxInputStream *in = ftp.GetInputStream(filename);
58 if ( !in )
59 {
60 wxLogError("Couldn't get the file");
61 }
62 else
63 {
64 char *data = new char[size];
65 if ( !in->Read(data, size) )
66 {
67 wxLogError("Read error: %d", ftp.GetError());
68 }
69 else
70 {
71 // file data is in the buffer
72 ...
73 }
74
75 delete [] data;
76 delete in;
77 }
78
79 // gracefully close the connection to the server
80 ftp.Close();
81 @endcode
82
83 To upload a file you would do (assuming the connection to the server was opened
84 successfully):
85
86 @code
87 wxOutputStream *out = ftp.GetOutputStream("filename");
88 if ( out )
89 {
90 out->Write(...); // your data
91 delete out;
92 }
93 @endcode

96 @category{net}
