ftp->chdir("/pub"); std::set<std::string> directory; ftp->list(std::insert_iterator<std::vector<std::string>>(dir, dir.end()); ftp->cdup(); std::string pwd=ftp->pwd(); std::string result=ftp->site("chmod 755 file.dat");
Use chdir() and cdup()
to navigate the server's directory structure.
list() obtains a human-readable listing of
the server's directory. The first parameter is an output iterator.
Each line in the listing gets written to the output iterator.
The remaining, optional parameters to list():
The directory name. This returns a listing of the specified directory's contents, instead of the current directory.
x::fdtimeoutconfig
that sets up the timeout configuration for the data channel used
to transfer the requested data.
nlst() works exactly like
list() but the server returns just the
name of each file in the server's directory, on each line, and nothing
else.
pwd() returns the name of the current directory,
and site() executes some arbitrary
server-specific command.
x::ymdhms timestamp=ftp->timestamp("filename"); off64_t filesize=ftp->size("filename"); std::map<std::string, x::ftp::client::base::stat> stat; ftp->filestat([&stat] (const char *filename, const x::ftp::client::base::stat &info) { stat[filename]=info; }, "filename"); ftp->dirstat([&stat] (const char *filename, const x::ftp::client::base::stat &info) { stat[filename]=info; }, "directory");
timestamp() returns the modification file of
some file on the server, and
size() gives the file's size, where available.
Some older servers may not implement the newer FTP
commands, used by filestat() and
dirstat() methods.
filestat() returns file information about
a single file (this is the MLST command
described in
RFC 3659)
dirstat() returns information about every
file in a given directory (this would be MLSD).
Both methods take a lambda or a functor as their first argument, which
receives two parameters: the file's name, and a
x::ftp::client::base::stat
for that file or directory entry.
Normally filestat()'s callback usually gets
called once, and
dirstat()'s callback gets called once for each
file in a directory, but some servers might make additional calls for
each file, for the reasons described in RFC 3659.
