class FTPClientSession

Library: Net
Package: FTP
Header: Poco/Net/FTPClientSession.h

Description

This class implements an File Transfer Protocol (FTP, RFC 959) client.

Most of the features of the FTP protocol, as specified in RFC 959, are supported. Not supported are EBCDIC and LOCAL data types and format control and structured files.

Also supported are the EPRT and EPSV commands from RFC 1738 (FTP Extensions for IPv6 and NAT). The client will first attempt to use the EPRT and EPSV commands. If the server does not supports these commands, the client will fall back to PORT and PASV.

Constructors

FTPClientSession

explicit FTPClientSession(
    const StreamSocket & socket
);

Creates an FTPClientSession using the given connected socket for the control connection.

Passive mode will be used for data transfers.

FTPClientSession

FTPClientSession(
    const std::string & host,
    Poco::UInt16 port = FTP_PORT
);

Creates an FTPClientSession using a socket connected to the given host and port.

Passive mode will be used for data transfers.

Destructor

~FTPClientSession virtual

virtual ~FTPClientSession();

Destroys the FTPClientSession.

Member Functions

abort

void abort();

Aborts the download or upload currently in progress.

Sends a TELNET IP/SYNCH sequence, followed by an ABOR command to the server.

A separate call to endDownload() or endUpload() is not necessary.

beginDownload

std::istream & beginDownload(
    const std::string & path
);

Starts downloading the file with the given name. After all data has been read from the returned stream, endDownload() must be called to finish the download.

A stream for reading the file's content is returned. The stream is valid until endDownload() is called.

Creates a data connection between the client and the server. If passive mode is on, then the server waits for a connection request from the client. Otherwise, the client waits for a connection request from the server. After establishing the data connection, a SocketStream for transferring the data is created.

If ASCII transfer mode is selected, the caller is responsible for converting the received data to the native text file format. The InputLineEndingConverter class from the Foundation library can be used for that purpose.

beginList

std::istream & beginList(
    const std::string & path = "",
    bool extended = false
);

Starts downloading a directory listing. After all data has been read from the returned stream, endList() must be called to finish the download.

A stream for reading the directory data is returned. The stream is valid until endList() is called.

Optionally, a path to a directory or file can be specified. According to the FTP prototol, if a path to a filename is given, only information for the specific file is returned. If a path to a directory is given, a listing of that directory is returned. If no path is given, a listing of the current working directory is returned.

If extended is false, only a filenames (one per line) are returned. Otherwise, a full directory listing including file attributes is returned. The format of this listing depends on the FTP server. No attempt is made to interpret this data.

Creates a data connection between the client and the server. If passive mode is on, then the server waits for a connection request from the client. Otherwise, the client waits for a connection request from the server. After establishing the data connection, a SocketStream for transferring the data is created.

beginUpload

std::ostream & beginUpload(
    const std::string & path
);

Starts uploading the file with the given name. After all data has been written to the returned stream, endUpload() must be called to finish the download.

A stream for reading the file's content is returned. The stream is valid until endUpload() is called.

Creates a data connection between the client and the server. If passive mode is on, then the server waits for a connection request from the client. Otherwise, the client waits for a connection request from the server. After establishing the data connection, a SocketStream for transferring the data is created.

If ASCII transfer mode is selected, the caller is responsible for converting the data to be sent into network (CR-LF line endings) format. The OutputLineEndingConverter class from the Foundation library can be used for that purpose.

cdup

void cdup();

Moves one directory up from the current working directory on teh server.

Sends a CDUP command to the server.

Throws a FTPException in case of a FTP-specific error, or a NetException in case of a general network communication failure.

close

void close();

Sends a QUIT command and closes the connection to the server.

Throws a FTPException in case of a FTP-specific error, or a NetException in case of a general network communication failure.

createDirectory

void createDirectory(
    const std::string & path
);

Creates a new directory with the given path on the server.

Sends a MKD command with path as argument to the server.

Throws a FTPException in case of a FTP-specific error, or a NetException in case of a general network communication failure.

endDownload

void endDownload();

Must be called to complete a download initiated with beginDownload().

endList

void endList();

Must be called to complete a directory listing download initiated with beginList().
